Ali, who has retired from Tests, said Stokes deserves plenty of credit for ensuring England are better than average.

"I had Joe Root and Alastair Cook as my captains, but Stokesy was just different. The way he's taking the game and team forward, it's really amazing. He took England from not playing great cricket to amazing and entertaining cricket," Ali told ESPNCricinfo.
