We won't purposely start sledging but won't back down if confronted: Stokes
Ahead of the fourth Test against India, England captain Ben Stokes said they won't "purposely" start sledging because that would distract them from what they need to do on the field. "But we won't take a backwards step if the opposition tries to confront us...And we won't hesitate to respond," he stated. Stokes added that it applies to most teams.
