Alec Stewart: I wouldn't drop Bell

Alec Stewart believes that Ian Bell should remain in the England squad for the duration of the Ashes.

Bell, who has won the Ashes four times throughout his career, has received a lot of criticism from fans and pundits recently due to his low scoring at the crease.

But former England captain Stewart claims he is Ian Bell's "biggest fan in the whole country" and thinks there is no need to replace him.

"I think it's great that he's going in at three and I hope they've said to him that he's going in for the rest of the series," Stewart argued.

"People should be careful what they wish for, a lot of people wanted Alastair Cook out of the side...now look what he's doing."
