At the epicentre of England's historic triumph was Ben Stokes, the talismanic all-rounder with an insatiable appetite for The Big Occasion. The biggest problem that tour books have in the modern era is that the television coverage is so good, and so widely available after a series has concluded, that the old fashioned type of account which largely concerned itself with describing the play is simply no longer relevant. In June 2022, Stokes started his captaincy with the 3–0 clean sweep of New Zealand cricket team in England in 2022, He scored 194 runs in 5 innings at an average of 48. In the first Test, Stokes took his 150th wicket, to become the sixth cricketer to score 4,000 runs and take 150 wickets in Tests, [75] and in the first innings of the second Test, Stokes scored 176 runs, to record his tenth century in Test cricket.

Though i find it quite odd that cricketers who are currently playing pen their autobiographies , i quite enjoyed this book by Ben Stokes.The book is the story of Stokes' two career defining innings in the summer of 2019, the first in the world cup final, the second at Headingley some 42 days later. He suffered a shoulder injury in the third and final test in Sharjah, [39] but still batted at number 11 as England ultimately lost the match and with it the series. Couldn’t put the book down, brought back many memories of watching England playing unbelievable cricket in 2019 and was great to hear it from one of the top performers of the years own words. In England's first innings of the second test in Cape Town, Stokes arrived at the crease with England 167–4, facing a hat-trick ball from Kagiso Rabada.

It provides an insider's account into the dream summer the Englishmen had in 2019, wherein they won an enthralling WC at home and then drew the Ashes with arch rivals Australia. On 16 August 2023, it was announced Stokes would come out of ODI retirement and was named part of England's squad for the 2023 Cricket World Cup. Please Note: By their very nature, all signed books will have been handled several times before they get to you. He made his debut in the 2nd Test and took the wickets of Michael Clarke and Peter Siddle before contributing 1 run in England's first innings. The best part however, is that Stokesy hasn't held anything back when it comes to criticism about those who deserve it.On Fire is Ben Stokes' brand new book, and in it he tells the story of England's electrifying first ever Cricket World Cup triumph, as well as this summer's momentous Ashes Test series.

In February 2017, Stokes was bought by Rising Pune Supergiants to play in the Indian Premier League during the 2017 season.

An autobiography of sorts I guess but as mentioned this was purely based on the World Cup and the Ashes series from 2019. Nevertheless reading about his experiences of those days at Lord's and at Headingley provides a new perspective on some memorable moments.

In July 2019 he received the Player of the Match accolade in the ICC Cricket World Cup final as England won the tournament for the first time. Some of the most tedious cricket books that I have picked up are those concerning a season’s international cricket, to which one or more of the participants have lent their name.
