England cricket team
The England team is currently on a tour of Pakistan. Where a three-match test series will be organized between the two teams. The first match of this series is to be played on 7 October. Before this match, a bad news has come out for the England team and their fans. A star player of England still does not appear to be fully fit and this player may be out of the first match of the series. This player is none other than England captain Ben Stokes. Ben Stokes may miss the first match of this series due to injury. Which can be a big loss for them.
England will suffer loss
The absence of a player like Ben Stokes can be a big loss for England. England’s Jack Crawley has declared himself fit, but there are still concerns about Stokes. Ben Stokes took part in the practice session in Multan on Friday. While he batted for only half an hour and also bowled the shot run-up for some time, when England announce their playing 11 on Saturday, it is very difficult to include Stokes’ name in it.
Missed the series against Sri Lanka
Ben Stokes also had to sit out in the series played against Sri Lanka. During that time the captaincy of the team was taken over by Ollie Pope. Something similar is expected to happen in this series also. Stokes was injured while batting during The Hundred in the month of August. Stokes suffered an injury to his left hamstring. Stokes has worked very hard on his rehab. He recently told Cricinfo that he would prefer to take an extra two weeks rather than risk doing something worse and then keeping himself out of the game for a long time. In such a situation, Stokes can stay out of the first match against Pakistan without taking any risk.
