BEN STOKES has no desire to be England captain but would take the role if asked.

The talismanic all-rounder, 28, is happy with his status as deputy to Test skipper Joe Root.

Anderson could be back for Boxing Day while Stokes doesn’t want captaincy

Stokes revealed: I could never say no but its not one of those things Im desperate to do. Weve got a great leader in Joe.
