Ben Stokes labels Headingley's exclusion from 2027 Ashes 'shambolic'

Ex-England skipper Ben Stokes has slammed the move to leave Headingley out of the 2027 Ashes calendar as "shambolic." After Joe Root remarked that the exclusion was a "shame," Stokes replied that "shame" does not even begin to cover it. The 2027 Ashes tour will include zero Test matches in the north of England. Headingley, the site of Stokes' legendary unbeaten 135-run knock against Australia in 2019, has seen England win seven straight Test matches at the venue.
