Durham coach Ryan Campbell says Ben Stokes is likely to combine his county commitments with franchise cricket played in multiple countries. Campbell’s comments follow Stokes’s most recent appearance for Durham, which came in a match against New Zealand at Trent Bridge earlier this month. The reports indicate Stokes is still considered a valuable member of Durham’s squad and is expected to continue contributing during his county season.
One outlet also notes that Stokes helps Durham in their domestic campaign, referencing his role in a victory over Derbyshire in which he finishes unbeaten. Across the sources, the central point is that Stokes’s schedule is expected to include both county cricket and franchise tournaments overseas, rather than choosing one over the other. No specific franchise teams or dates are provided in the available information, and the details focus on Durham’s expectation that Stokes will remain involved with the county while pursuing opportunities in franchise cricket worldwide.
