Rob Key would ‘not be surprised’ if Ben Stokes returned to Test team

England men's director of cricket Rob Key has said he would not be surprised if Ben Stokes returned to the Test team, despite the all-rounder's ongoing fitness concerns. Key has identified former New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming as a potential figure and noted Joe Root's returning role in leading the Test side. Stokes has been managing a knee injury that has limited his availability for England in recent months.
