Ben Stokes: England all-rounder 'devastated' by World T20 loss

England all-rounder Ben Stokes says he felt as if "the whole world had come down" on him after conceding four sixes in the last over of the World Twenty20 final.

West Indies needed 19 to win and Stokes' first four balls were all smashed over the boundary by Carlos Brathwaite.

But the 24-year-old Durham player believes the setback will make him a better player in the long term.

And Stokes - who has been backed to bounce back from the defeat by England team-mates including Stuart Broad and Alastair Cook - says he would be prepared to bowl the final over for England again.
