Talismanic former England captain Ben Stokes could take up a new role in his latest journey in franchise cricket. After signing a one-year contract with the Adelaide Strikers in the Big Bash League (BBL), Stokes could open during the upcoming season, team head coach Tim Paine hinted. Having played most of his cricket as a middle-order batter across formats, Stokes has a chance to unlock his ‘360-degree game’ at the top, as Paine highlighted. &nbsp;Paine’s presence as head coach played a key role in bringing Stokes to Adelaide. With the two being at opposite ends as captains during the 2019 Ashes -- which made Stokes a national hero for his Leeds outing -- Paine knew exactly how destructive he would be on bouncy tracks Down Under, which suits his game.&nbsp;&nbsp;Also read| <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ben-stokes-signs-adelaide-strikers-record-bbl-deal-1788273751583">Ben Stokes joins Adelaide Strikers in record AUD $500k BBL deal</a> &nbsp;"He [Stokes] gives us a lot of flexibility," Paine said. "I think initially my chats around how we would use him would probably be opening the batting. I think he's made to open the batting in Big Bash. I think the pacey, bouncy wickets in Australia really suit him. &nbsp;"I've been on the end of a couple of these devastating innings in Test cricket where you feel like you can't defend the field. He can play 360 [degrees]. He's got power. He's got some real class." &nbsp;Only 16 of Stokes’ 148 T20 innings have come as an opener, as he mostly batted at 3, 4 or 5. However, one of his two T20 hundreds came while opening, when he scored a brilliant 107 off just 60 balls for Rajasthan Royals during the 2020 IPL edition.&nbsp; &nbsp;Stokes last played a T20 game during the 2024 edition of The Hundred. &nbsp; &nbsp;"I think he can do a terrific job opening the batting," Paine said. "Playing pretty normally, as we've seen in the past, he can flick a switch, and he's got amazing power. His skill level with the bat and his play of spin, he's just a well-rounded, world-class batter. We think that's probably the best fit for him and for us. &nbsp;"Then with the ball, we think he can surprise people. I've played against him. He's a bit quicker than people think. He's got great skill. He can swing the ball both ways. We feel like we can use him in all phases of the game with the ball as well. He'll impact in the field with his athleticism and just the way he competes,” Paine said.&nbsp;<h2>All Spotlights on Stokes</h2>Stokes knows how to garner attention because of his cricketing aura and personality, and Paine pinpointed that with wild coverage around his BBL signing since Tuesday. Speaking on how it all magnifies when Stokes takes the field at the Adelaide Oval, Paine said, "He's someone that's always drawn a lot of attention because of his personality and the way he plays the game. &nbsp;"I think we've seen in the last 24 hours just how much light he's shone on the Big Bash just with his announcement. I'm sure that will only magnify when he lands in Adelaide and when he starts playing well and scoring runs and taking wickets. &nbsp;"There's some intangible stuff with Stokesy as well, I think, around his leadership, his presence and commercially and fan engagement. So there's not that many players I wouldn't have thought out in the world that tick all of those boxes and are still at a really high level as a cricketer. So, yeah, we made that decision pretty quickly and pursued him quite aggressively,” the former Australian captain added.

BBL 16: Tim Paine teases opening role for Ben Stokes at Adelaide Strikers

Former England captain Ben Stokes has signed up for Adelaide Strikers in the Big Bash League (BBL), the franchise announced on Tuesday (Sep 1). Available to play franchise cricket worldwide following his shock international retirement in June, Stokes picked Australia’s BBL as his first step towards a new journey. The talismanic English all-rounder has also become the first overseas player to join since the new contracting system was confirmed last week, which allows teams to make direct signings.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Stoked. The Adelaide Strikers are thrilled to announce the signing of one of cricket&#39;s greatest all-rounders, Ben Stokes, ahead of BBL|16.

In Stokes’ case, local media reports that his deal is in the region of AU$500,000 (US$360,000 approx.) – significantly higher than the previous highest band at the platinum level of the draft which was AU$420,000. More overseas signings in the coming weeks could fetch huge numbers.&nbsp; &nbsp;Several BBL clubs were interested in signing Stokes, but it was the Strikers, coached by former Australian Test captain Tim Paine, who secured his services for one year.&nbsp;Also read| <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/josh-hazlewood-australia-south-africa-tour-crowd-abuse-1788180061686">Josh Hazlewood expects South Africa sledging, insists Aussies won't be fazed</a> &nbsp;"I'm really excited to be joining the Adelaide Strikers for BBL|16," Stokes said in a statement. "I've always enjoyed playing in Australia, and when the opportunity came up to join the Strikers it was one I couldn't pass up. &nbsp;"Adelaide Oval is an incredible place to play cricket, the Big Bash is a fantastic competition, and the Strikers have an exciting group, so I'm looking forward to meeting the players, getting stuck in and contributing to a successful season. &nbsp;"I can't wait to get started, create some special memories with the group and give Strikers fans plenty to cheer about,” he continued. &nbsp;On Stokes’ signing, Paine said, “Ben is one of the greatest all-rounders the game has seen, a proven match-winner and a competitor who thrives under pressure. We're thrilled to have a player of his ability join our squad and can't wait to see him put on a show in BBL|16.”<h2>Touchdown Australia</h2>Meanwhile, Stokes will return to Australia for the first time since leading England in an away Ashes in late 2025. The visitors suffered an embarrassing 3-1 series loss Down Under, having last won an Ashes on Australian soil in 2011/12. &nbsp;The left-handed batter will also make only his second appearance in the BBL, since last representing Melbourne Renegades for a four-game stint in 2014. &nbsp;While Stokes' first game for the Strikers will be against Sydney Thunder, which would include David Warner, on December 16 in Canberra, his first home match will be against Thunder in the return fixture at the Adelaide Oval on December 23.

A WBBL match between Adelaide Strikers and Hobart Hurricanes had to be abandoned after a rare and surprising incident left the pitch unplayable. A cricket ball accidentally got stuck in the surface during the innings break, creating a deep hole that could not be fixed in time for the second innings.&nbsp;The game at Karen Rolton Oval was moving normally when the Strikers finished their innings at 167 for 4. As per usual WBBL rules, the ground staff began rolling the pitch during the break. At the same time, Hurricanes players were doing their warm-up on the side. A ball from their drill rolled onto the pitch and slipped under the heavy roller.&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/fakhar-zaman-fined-by-icc-for-dissent-during-tri-series-final-1764949761216">Fakhar Zaman fined by ICC for dissent during tri-series final</a>&nbsp;Because the roller is extremely heavy, it pressed the ball into the pitch and created a round hole right in the middle of the surface. The damage was too big and too deep to repair quickly. The Strikers later explained the situation in a statement on Instagram, saying that the pitch conditions had changed so much that it would be unfair for the Hurricanes to bat on it.&nbsp;Match officials, including the referee and umpires, checked the pitch and agreed that the second innings could not continue. Both teams’ captains were also consulted, and everyone accepted that the match had to be called off.&nbsp;Hobart Hurricanes had already qualified for the final after winning seven of their first nine matches. They were all set to chase the Strikers’ total, which was built around a strong innings from Madeline Penna. She scored an unbeaten 63 off 51 balls and anchored the Strikers’ batting effort. Hurricanes' bowlers shared the wickets, but they never got the chance to test themselves in the chase.&nbsp;For the Strikers, the no result was a setback. This was already their third washed-out or abandoned match of the season.

Adelaide Strikers defeated <a href="https://www.wionews.com/.../big-bash-league-maxwells-mammoth-knock- helps-melbourne-star-cruise-over-renegades-273427">Melbourne Renegades</a> by 63 runs in the ongoing Big Bash League (BBL) here on Sunday.

Chasing a target of 173 runs, Melbourne Renegades had a very poor start as opener Marcus Harris was bowled off Travis Head's fifth delivery of the first over.

The next batsman Sam Harper too failed to leave a mark as he was bowled by Peter Siddle in the next over. Opener Shaun Marsh was then joined by Beau Webster on the field.

Both played a fast-paced innings and helped their struggling side. Head broke their 50-run partnership as he bowled Marsh (21). Mohammad Nabi and Tom Cooper scored six and one run respectively before getting out which put Melbourne Renegade under immense pressure.

The fall of wicket did not stop as Webster, who missed his half-century by one run, was given LBW off Rashid Khan's delivery.
