Joe Ruth paid special respect to Shane Warren after leading England to New Zealand in their first test of the summer at Lord’s Cricket Ground.

The Australian cricket legend died in March on suspicion of a heart attack, and his tragic death has spread throughout the cricket world.

Warren, as test captain Ben Stokes, was close to a number of the current England squad and behind-the-scenes staff, including Ruth and his successor.

Before the match against New Zealand, the Lord’s comment box was named in Warren’s honor and greeted one of the sport’s greatest players and most prolific wicket-keeper on the first morning of 23 matches. do.

Meanwhile, Ruth helped England start a new era under Stokes with an unbeaten 115, and new head coach Brendan McCullough also enjoyed his return to a huge range with five wickets.

England eventually won, but at one point it seemed unlikely.

He said: “It’s a fun feeling. It was the hell of the game, and it fits in a lot of ways because the game remains in Warn’s memory with such aggressive cricket.”

When asked how Stokes felt about performing better in the Virgo trial as captain, Ruth added:

“I love to win. I want to run as many miles as possible and win as many test matches as possible. As long as I have the energy and the desire to do it, I will do it. I don’t want this team to be led by a better person.”

Stokes greeted his former teammate, who had joined the elite club and became the 14th person in history to reach the 10,000-mile trial as one of the world’s best.

“The game is important for him to beat England,” Stokes said. “After leaving 115, after leaving the captain, he won the match with us. It was special. It’s great that he’s back. He doesn’t have to think about it. Just think about running away.”

Joe is one of the best in the world. England will be one of the best Test matches for a long time. Nobody is surprised and you can see how excited he was.
