Stokes Urges Focus Amid New Zealand Test Success

England cricket captain Ben Stokes acknowledges his previous overemphasis on the upcoming Ashes series in Australia and is now focusing on staying present for the current series against New Zealand. England is on the brink of sweeping the series against New Zealand, having secured a 2-0 lead. Despite the looming Ashes, Stokes emphasizes focusing on the present, including the upcoming home series against India. England's cricket team has experienced a significant overhaul, with retirements and new talent emerging, such as Harry Brook, who has excelled in the New Zealand series. Stokes aims to end the year on a high note with England's 10th Test win of 2024, one short of their record set in 2004.
