But as I have made it very clear, Test cricket is at the forefront of my mind and all of my time decisions will be based around Test matches. "Now being the captain, I have the responsibility to do that," Stokes told PTI during a virtual interaction organized by 'Amazon Prime Video' on the occasion of the release of his documentary series 'Ben Stokes: Phoenix from the Ashes'.
