Stephen Fleming, chief coach of RPS, on Ben Stokes's signing: "Big player he is. He's the form allrounder. For this year we want to go in hard, so we're all in. With Ashwin at no eight, we have world class players. We might have a few weak areas. If you look at us on paper, we look very strong. It's a top eight that you really have to respect. With Stokes and Marsh as all rounders it gives you more balance in the side."
