The latest incident has shocked everyone in English cricket. After celebrating the team's first Test win against New Zealand at Lord's, things took a bad turn and created a situation that nobody expected. While the investigation is still going on, there are many questions but very few answers.
McCullum got to know about everything on Monday (June 15) morning and was left deeply disappointed by what had happened. The England coach was shocked, especially because Stokes himself had played a key role in building the team's discipline and culture over the last few years.
Brendon McCullum's top priority is Ben Stokes' well-being
However, there is still no guarantee that he will be available for the third and final Test against New Zealand at Trent Bridge because everything depends on the final outcome of the investigation. Amid the uncertainty over Ben Stokes' future as England's Test captain, McCullum is worried about the skipper’s well-being.
Brendon McCullum stated, as quoted by ESPNCricinfo: “My overall emotion turned to worry and concern for Ben in particular. Since then, it has been about how we support these guys, whilst not overlooking the fact that they have not lived up to the standards we have set for ourselves. You can't walk past that, and we'll deal with that in time and through a process.”
Ben Stokes goes through emotional turmoil
Speaking about his role in this tough time for Stokes, McCullum stated, “For me, I'm just making sure I'm checking in with him. That's where things sit at the moment. [We're going to] keep communicating, checking in daily. We have spoken every day since this incident has unfolded.”
He signed off by saying, “There's been a range of emotions Ben has gone through. I am not going to share those with you. That's out of respect for our relationship and the confidentiality of it as well. I care about Ben and want to make sure we are doing the right thing by him. Ultimately doing the right thing by the team also.”
