Ben Stokes Joins Northern Superchargers as Mentor for The Hundred

A New Role for England Captain

England Test captain Ben Stokes is set to take on a non-playing role in the upcoming season of The Hundred, joining the Northern Superchargers as a mentor. The experienced all-rounder will be working closely with the team despite not participating on the field.

Stokes’ History with the Superchargers

The 34-year-old previously played five matches for the Superchargers across the 2021 and 2024 editions of the tournament. While his playing contributions were limited, his presence has always been a boost for the side, both on and off the pitch.

Focus on Ashes Fitness

Stokes announced earlier this year that he would sit out this season’s 100-ball competition to focus on regaining full fitness ahead of England’s Ashes campaign in Australia later in the year. A shoulder injury, which had already ruled him out of the fifth Test against India, was also a key factor in his decision.

Supporting from the Sidelines

Although not playing, Stokes is expected to be a key figure off the field, offering guidance and insights to players. He joins the support staff under head coach Andrew Flintoff, a former England legend himself. Together, they aim to strengthen the Superchargers’ squad with their vast cricketing knowledge.
