Stokes' Ability To Fully Fulfil That All-Rounder Function Is Absolutely Critical: Michael Atherton

By IANS News June 01, 2023 • 14:57 PM View: 661

Former captain Michael Atherton said it would be a big blow for England if skipper Ben Stokes' knee problem limits his ability to bowl during the upcoming Ashes, saying the allrounder's role he fulfils in the side is absolutely critical.

Stokes suffered a flare-up of a left knee injury during the drawn Test series in New Zealand in February. Since then, he has only bowled just one over in one of his two matches for Chennai Super Kings (CSK), in IPL 2023, where his appearances were limited due to various niggles.
