Karachi:\u00a0England all-rounder Ben Stokes was one of the most impactful players in the last decade and was honored by\u00a0the International Cricket Council too.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 29-year-old Stokes was named in ICC Test and ODI teams of the decade. Stokes thanked the world’s governing body after receiving the caps but was a bit disappointed about the color of the Test Team of the Decade cap.<\/p>\n

Stokes highlighted that the cap is a bit too similar\u00a0to the ‘Baggy Green’ worn by England’s biggest rivals, Australia.<\/p>\n

“Very proud of both these cap\u2019s, one of them just doesn\u2019t seem right, it\u2019s a bit BAGGY and GREEN thanks ICC,\u201d he wrote on Instagram, along with pictures of him sporting both the caps.<\/p>\n
