Recently, England's managing director Rob Key revealed that Ben Stokes is among the contenders for the team's white-ball captaincy after the resignation of Jos Buttler from the role. Buttler resigned after England's dismal Champions Trophy campaign where they crashed out of the group stage.

"Going for (Ben) Stokes would be a move of desperation. I would be lost for words if England appointed him. Firstly, there is the schedule. He's not going to the Indian Premier League to try to prioritise the Test match team and get his physicality right for the big events on the horizon," Broad noted.
ODIs are more tiring than Tests: Stuart Broad
Broad further claimed that the ODIs are more taxing than Tests and Stokes' introduction as an ODI captain will increase his bowling workload a lot more.
"The mathematics of that make no sense. As someone who played 121 one-day internationals I can honestly say I found the 50-over format more tiring than Test match cricket," he added.
Stuart Broad asks England to "reintroduce Archer" against India
Stuart Broad further called for England to play Jofra Archer in the five-match Test series against India in order to harden him ahead of the Ashes later in the year. However, he called for better management for the bowlers to lessen their chances of getting injured.
"Yes, you want the players be battle-hardened, but I'd expect the bowlers to be managed well. So against India, you need to reintroduce Archer," the former England quick added.
England will play a five-match Test series against India at home from June. The series will be the first for both teams in the next World Test Championship (WTC) cycle and is likely to be a thrilling one between two teams eager to prove themselves.
