Stokes chose to require a break from the game. Which caused him to miss the continuous T20 World Cup.

“The hints have been there. The moment Ben posted a picture of himself holding a bat I thought, ‘OK, he’s not doing that because he’s thinking of Durham in April. He must have something else in mind’. As he said himself, he is ready for Australia,” Nasser Hussain said.
“He is the heartbeat of that side and suddenly England’s hopes of succeeding in the series have improved dramatically. Stokes is the ultimate team man and the England players will be thrilled to have him back,” Hussain added.
Lastly, Stokes was not included in England’s squad. It’s for the Ashes but has now been added to the contingent. He will travel to the land Down Under. Hussain stressed the importance of Stokes’ presence in the England camp. Apart from his all-around abilities on the field. Stokes have lost 9 out of their last 10 Tests in Australia.
“Stokes is absolutely vital to the England team. His addition to the Ashes squad will give everyone a lift. It is not just his immense contribution with the bat, ball, and in the field but his sheer presence,” Hussain said.
