Stone Eager To Perform On Return To Tests For England After Nearly Three Years
Stone replaces tearaway pacer Mark Wood, who was ruled out of the remaining two matches against Sri Lanka after picking up a right thigh strain on Day Three of the first Test at Old Trafford, Manchester. Stone, 30, last played a Test match for England against New Zealand at Edgbaston in June 2021 and has taken 10 wickets in the format at an average of 19.40, with an economy rate of 3.25.
"It was a special day. To play at this ground is special regardless, but to make my Test debut here was a special one. It will be great to come back out this week and do the same. Pulling on an England shirt in any format is special," said Stone to broadcasters ahead of the game, where he will get a chance to bowl once England’s first innings concludes. “But to do it in Test cricket, there is nothing quite like it and that's the reason it kept me going. I feel ready. Hopefully, I can go out there and perform the way I know I can."
