Ben Stokes Back in International Cricket Following Injury Layoff
England will be going against New Zealand in a Test series which will take place soon. The ECB has announced its team for the series, and Ben Stokes returns to the side as a skipper. His return was awaited by the fans, as he suffered a brutal face injury a few months back.
Cricket fans will now be able to rejoice the Test format once again, as Ben Stokes, one of the finest Test all-rounders, is back in the game. From 4 June, England will be going on a Test series against New Zealand, which will be played at their home.
This series holds a lot of importance for the English team with the WTC context. They suffered a brutal loss against Australia in The Ashes, and were also not able to do well in the series against India. Amidst this, England has announced its squad for the Test series against New Zealand, where Ben Stokes remained the main highlight.
Stokes has marked his return to the team after a threatening face injury he suffered in the practice sessions. Now he has recovered from the injury as he sets his eyes to help England achieve its Test dominance once again. The squad also features names of stars such as Joe Root, Jamie Smith, Josh Tongue, and more.
Our Take
The English fans rejoiced with the return of Ben Stokes to the team. The injury he suffered was a bit brutal and would easily make it to the list of the worst nightmares any player would witness. Many thought he wouldn't be able to make it back to the team after a threatening injury. But here comes Stokesy, back to leading the English side as their skipper, as he never left.
