Stokes to remain out of action for rest of the summer

The ECB, in a statement, said, Stokes will be aiming to return for England’s Test tour of Pakistan, that is scheduled to be played in October. Opener Zak Crawley is also targeting Pakistan tour after being ruled out of the Sri Lanka series due to a finger injury.

Last year in November, Stokes also underwent knee surgery to get himself ready for the West Indies and Sri Lanka series. Due to Test assignments, Stokes had also pulled out of England’s T20I World Cup campaign in June. .
