LONDON: England Test captain Ben Stokes said he would be willing to return to the white-ball setup under new coach Brendon McCullum if he was asked but added that there had been no conversations about him coming back into the limitedovers squads.
McCullum`s appointment as head coach across all formats came after a two-year period of having separate coaches for the white and red-ball teams and followed Matthew Mott`s departure as limited-overs coach in July.
The New Zealander will take charge of the limited-overs sides when England tour India in January.
Stokes has been a key part of the Test squad since McCullum took charge in May 2022 but has played sparingly in England white-ball sides.
He retired from Oneday Internationals before returning for last year`s ODI World Cup and last playedaT20International in the World Cup final in November 2022.
`I`ve played a lot of white-ball cricket for England and I`m very happy and content with what I`ve achieved in that form of the game ..., Stokes told Sky Sports on Tuesday.
`If I get the call to come and play, then obviously it`s definitely going to be a yes. But I`m not going to be too disappointed if I don`t it means that I can just sit back and watch everyone else go out and smack it.
`Me and Baz [McCullum] have not spoken about anything like that whatsoever.
