England’s Test captain Ben Stokes recently suffered a significant setback when he injured his hamstring during The Hundred 2024. The injury occurred while he was attempting to take a single, and the severity was such that he required assistance to leave the field.
Subsequent medical scans confirmed the seriousness of the injury, leading to his exclusion from England's two-Test series against Sri Lanka and ruling him out for the rest of the English summer.
