Ben Stokes updates about his injury
Ben Stokes is away from international cricket due to his injury, since he is with the team and being an audience he is watching the match between England and Sri Lanka, Ollie Pope is leading the team in absence of Ben Stokes. Ben Stokes said:
“I’m all good, just slowly progressing. It’s still very early days in the rehab period… I want to get back as quick as I possibly can, so being around the medical team here with physio and doctors, I thought that was going to give myself the best chance of getting back sooner rather than later.”
“Injuries are never ideal, but they’re also great chances for people to keep improving their game and have a little bit of time of reflection and think about what he can work on in his game. I’m sure that’s exactly what he’s doing in the nets. Going into that Pakistan series and then into New Zealand, he’s going to be as fresh as anyone,” Pope said.
“I was actually pretty relaxed and pretty chilled. I thought I might be a little bit frantic… When you don’t have the emotion of being in the game, you do look at it from a different point of view.”
