Ross Taylor revealed that he tried to make Ben Stokes represent New Zealand, his country of birth, well before he would go on to become one of England’s greats. Ross Taylor, the former New Zealand batting great, revealed that he made attempts to make Ben Stokes represent New Zealand - the country of his berth - during the late 2010s. The incident dates back to 2010, when Stokes, playing for Durham, was asked if he would be keen to play for New Zealand by his teammate Taylor. “He was 18 or 19 and very much a Kiwi,’’ Taylor wrote in his autobiography, "Ross Taylor Black & White", an extract of which was published by stuff.co.nz.
