Ben Stokes Undergoes Second Surgery On Injured Finger And Will Miss The Ashes: Report
England off-roader Ben Stokes underwent a second surgery on his broken finger that will discard him out of the ashes, according to a report.
England star Ben Stokes’ off-roader underwent a second surgery on his broken index finger that is likely to discard him from the ashes, according to a report in England.
Stokes, who has been on indefinite leave since retiring from the home test series against India, initially underwent surgery four months ago after injuring his left index finger while playing in the IPL for the Rajasthan Royals. “Leeds-based consultant Doug Campbell, who also performed the first surgery in April, removed the screws from Stokes’ healed finger on Monday and resolved the scar tissue that had been causing the agonizing pain around his tendons and ligaments,” he reported. the News Agencies.
The report said the broken finger will now be much better and that Stokes could play without chronic pain in the future. But the 30-year-old is not expected to return anytime soon. The Ashes begins in December.
On Wednesday, Stokes posted a photo on Instagram of him along with his wife Clare with his left index finger bandaged.
Stokes attempted to return to action this summer, playing for Durham at the T20 Blast in June and was also selected for the ODI series against Pakistan in July.
The series was marred by England’s first squad forced into isolation following a COVID-19 outbreak.
Stokes led a second-row team that featured nine uncapped players and guided England to a 3-0 series victory.
However, he required an injection of painkillers throughout the series. He has not played in any form of cricket since July 26.
Stokes was not available for selection for the upcoming T20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates.
