Ben Stokes is not playing T20 World Cup 2021 starting this
week. Ben Stokes is a tremendous all-rounder. He was the captain of the team in
the Test series against Pakistan in July 2021 but now Eoin Morgan will lead the
team in T20 World Cup due to the absence of Ben.
After he
posted a picture of him gripping the bat on Instagram, fans are happy to see
him playing cricket.
"It's casual clothes training on a Thursday…
Generally my first ball back and this is what happened (laughing face emoji)...
Then a bit of making sure I don't break my toe... Then eventually hit a nice
one... Great to be back hitting balls." He posted on Instagram.
Jofra Archer commented on Ben Stokes’s post, wrote “First
ball might be 4 anyway (doesn't matter how they come)."
Wicket-keeper and batsman Jos Buttler commented on Ben’s
post, “Like riding a bike”.
Stokes had pulled himself out from playing cricket before
the test match series against India and Ben will also not be playing the upcoming
T20 World Cup. Ben will also not play the most-awaited Ashes series against Australia
2021/22. Ben pulled out because of his mental health concerns and healing his
left index finger.
Ben Stokes’s index finger was fractured while fielding for
Rajashtan Royals in Indian Premier League 2021 in April. Stokes left the tournament
as he to go through surgery. In July, Stokes won 3-0 One Day International
series against Pakistan while leading as captain with a fresh team. Due to the Covid-19
outbreak, the first team was not available.
Ben went through surgery in October to remove two screws
from the left index finger and remove scar tissue. Stokes’s Instagram post has
created a hope that Ben will start playing again or whether he will be part of
Ashes 2020/21 England’s squad or not.
