Ben stokes disappointed after being rled out: The fifth match of the five -match Test series between India and England will be played from 31 July tomorrow. England captain Ben Stokes is out of this match. He said that he does not want to take any risk by playing the 5th Test against India.
In this series, Ben Stokes has batted and bowled brilliantly in four matches so far. He has taken 17 wickets from the ball in this series. At the same time, more than 300 runs have also been scored with the bat. Now he will not participate in the fifth Test of the series. Apart from him, many more players will not be seen playing in this match.
It is being said that Jasprit Bumrah will also be rested in the fifth Test. At the same time, two more fast bowlers of England have been rested. Jofra Archer and Briden Cars will not play in the fifth Test. The absence of these players can reduce the beauty of the match.
Ben Stokes has caused a lot of damage by putting long spells in the third and fourth Tests. They have had a bad effect on their shoulders. Due to which he has to stay out of the fifth Test. Stokes was very excited about his participation at the Oval but the scan revealed that Stokes would not be a part of the match. Stokes will take decisions from the dressing room but England will miss them on the field with bat and ball.
Stokes stated that this is a case of assessing risk-benefit and the risk was so high that it could not be harmed even more than the current situation. I did not want so… and I do not expect any of my players to risk such injury.
The England captain said that I will start rehabilitation and focus on what to do next. I am very disappointed but I needed a little more time than normal to take such decisions. Stokes hopes that he will be fully fit in six to seven weeks before the Ashes in Australia. Stokes looked disappointed at not playing in the last Test match but his funny tone remained intact.
He said that this is a muscle injury that I cannot pronounce because I do not know how to say (smiling). We took as much time as possible to take this decision. I came here to see whether I can play as a batsman or not. The possibility of bowling was over as the results of the scan came to an end. You need time to interact with the medical team, badge (head coach Brandon McCullum) and then for about 20 minutes for ourselves so that we can be completely clear about the decision we are taking.
