Ben Stokes has been ruled out for the rest of the summer after tearing his left hamstring while playing in the Hundred
Captain sustained injury during match in the HundredBen Stokes will miss the rest of the English summer after sustaining a left hamstring tear while playing in the Hundred.
The 35-year-old has not played in the Hundred this season and was pulled out of the competition by the ECB on Monday “due to the management of his workload”, his team, Birmingham Phoenix, announced. Stokes’s injury blow comes not long after he returned to his duties as an all-rounder. Having struggled with a longstanding knee problem that severely limited his bowling last year, surgery in November was followed by promising returns with the ball for the 33‑year‑old this summer. Stokes took 18 wickets in three County Championship matches for Durham and looked sharp when taking five more in the series win against West Indies.
Sri Lanka have announced the former England batter Ian Bell as their batting coach for the three‑Test series. The 42-year-old, who played 118 Tests from 2004 to 2015, was part of New Zealand’s backroom staff when they visited England last summer for a white-ball tour before the 50-over World Cup.
