LONDON : Ben Stokes is well aware of the threat posed by World Test Championship winners Australia but says England have"found something that works" and will not back down from their high-risk, high-reward style of play in the upcoming Ashes series.
Stokes and coach Brendon 'Baz' McCullum have ushered in a fearless approach that has injected fresh excitement into test cricket with England winning 11 of their last 13 tests under the duo."We know the threat that Australia pose, no matter who they are playing against, they are a very good team but we've found something that works and has been successful," Stokes told BBC Test Match Special.
"If we were to change anything from the last 12 months because we find ourselves in an Ashes series, then anything from the last 12 months will have been completely pointless."
