On England's footballers, all-rounder Stokes said: "They will be absolutely devastated and it will probably hurt for a few more weeks. Ben Stokes helped England to the 50-over Cricket World Cup crown at Lord's in 2019"They are such a young team full of talent that the sky is the limit for them. "They have so many more years, so many more tournaments to go and prove themselves in, so much time to win trophies for England. "In my eyes and everyone else's eyes in our changing room, they are absolute legends already. "Never has an England team been so exciting to watch - I am not massively into my football like some of our lads are but I have watched this team every time they have walked onto the field."
