Sanjeev Goenka, the team owner, on Stokes: "He's a complete player. He completes our squad. We've been lacking this genre of player. We have many heroes, but this is one hero we were lacking. We knew he was going to go expensive. We believe he's going to be available for the first 14 games and right now we are focusing on the first 14 games. We are very happy. We pretty much knew we aren't going to get him at a lesser.
Steven Smith been consulted? Oh yes, Steven Smith, Stephen Fleming... everyone has been part of this decision. We didn't go for the individual, we wanted to fill those gaps that we had in our team and Ben Stokes clearly our No. 1, 2 and 3 preference.
