Soon after Australia’s dominating Test match win in Mackay against Bangladesh, former captain Ricky Ponting was asked whether the England and Wales Cricket Board should consider bringing back Ben Stokes to make an impact in the next Ashes.
There are talks around Ben Stokes’ possible return in Tests with the England National team for another Ashes series. Ponting felt it would be better for Stokes to stay retired.

However, with a returning Stokes in the side, the Three Lions had a disastrous campaign at the 2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup in India, finishing 7th in the standings. The Jos Buttler-led team managed to claim only three wins from 9 games.
“He retired from one day into national cricket, came back into that World Cup,p and it was a disaster,” he added.

Before concluding the discussion, in a bold remark, Ricky Ponting said that it will be another drawback for the England cricket team if they decide to add Stokes again with a settled group of players for the next Ashes series.
“With the amount of cricket that they play, continuity is a big thing, but they're going to need to have good, settled players leading up to an Ashes series and having Stokes come back for me,e I think would be a disaster.”
