Smith 'Glad' Ben Stokes Will Be On The Plane To Australia For Ashes

By IANS News October 27, 2021 • 12:32 PM View: 1291

Australian batter Steve Smith has given his thumbs up to England all-rounder Ben Stokes for making a successful return to the side for the Ashes tour beginning next month, saying it's great to "have him on the plane" after taking time off to focus on mental health.

Stokes had taken an indefinite break to focus on his mental health and also tend to an injured finger. But recently, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced that that charismatic all-rounder would be available for the full Ashes tour, which begins with The Gabba Test on December 8.
