Stokes has been a key part of the test squad since McCullum took charge in May 2022.
He retired from one-day internationals before returning for last year’s ODI World Cup. Ben Stokes last played a Twenty20 international in the World Cup final in November 2022.
In his recent interview with Sky Sports, Ben Stokes lauded England’s new talent, currently in action against a five-match ODI series against Australia.
“This white-ball team has gone in a new direction,” said Stokes.
“We’ve seen some unbelievable talent come through, just to point out one: Jacob Bethell, who I think is going to be a superstar.
“I’ve played a lot of white-ball cricket for England, I’m very happy and content with what I’ve achieved in that form of the game.”
The all-rounder then went on to share that if he gets a call to represent England in both white-ball teams, he would say “yes”.
“If I am part of the white-ball teams’ plans going forward in any way, shape or form then great,” said Stokes. “If I get the call, saying ‘do you want to come and play?’ It’s definitely going to be a ‘yes’,” said Stokes.
“But I’m not going to be too disappointed if I don’t because it means someone’s come in and doing really well. I can just sit back and watch everyone else go out and smack it,” he concluded.
