Bess is no different as he also wishes to pick the Indian skipper in the upcoming series. On being asked about his reaction after picking Kohli’s wicket, Dom answered, “I will go loony, be running off!”

Matt Parkinson is the worst footballer: Dom Bess

Further, when asked about who is the best footballer in the England cricket team, Dom was confused between the wicketkeeper-batsman Jos Buttler and Chris Woakes while he picked Matt Parkinson as the worst footballer among the lot in the squad.

“Either Jos Buttler or Chris Woakes but I have to pick Buttler. Once he gets into it, he can get aggressive,” Dom answered when asked about the best footballer in the team.

“There are a couple. Matt Parkinson is the worst,” Bess on the worst footballer.

During the course of interaction, Bess was also questioned on which England player is the king of the WhatsApp group. To this, the spinner added, “Currently, it’s Stokesy as he had to sort out the wifi for all of the lads. Some memes, not much cricket talk in the quarantine.”
