England's managing director of men's cricket, Rob Key, has refused to rule out a return for former captain Ben Stokes, who retired from international cricket in June. Key said he wouldn't be surprised if Stokes, 35, decided to come back into the Test fold for next summer's Ashes series against Australia. Key insisted his relationship with Stokes has not frayed beyond repair, despite Stokes' shock retirement during a Test match against New Zealand. Key's comments come a day after the ECB confirmed Stephen Fleming as the new head coach of the Test team, with Joe Root returning as captain.
