Stokes Admits His 'Head Wasn't In It' Following Father's Cancer Diagnosis

By Shubham Shah August 29, 2020 • 12:46 PM View: 946

England all-rounder Ben Stokes has revealed that he had pulled out of the Pakistan Test series midway in order to be with his family in New Zealand as his father's cancer diagnosis left him mentally disturbed.

Stokes' father Gerard, a former Kiwis rugby league international, was diagnosed with the illness in January, soon after returning home from South Africa, where he had fallen sick.
