Hamstring Tear Sustained During The Hundred Ends Stokes Season

England Cricket Captain Ben Stokes Ruled Out of Test Series Against Sri Lanka Due to Hamstring Injury

Hamstring Tear Sustained During The Hundred Ends Stokes' Season

England cricket captain Ben Stokes has been ruled out of the upcoming test series against Sri Lanka due to a torn hamstring sustained during The Hundred.

Stokes suffered the injury while playing for Northern Superchargers in the Hundred competition, and scans have revealed a grade two tear in his left hamstring.

The injury is a major blow to England, as Stokes is one of their key players and was expected to lead the team in the upcoming series against Sri Lanka.

Stokes Out for the Rest of the English Summer

The injury means that Stokes will miss the rest of the English summer, including the two-match Test series against Sri Lanka.

The series against Sri Lanka was due to begin on August 21st, but it is now unclear who will captain England in Stokes' absence.

Possible replacements for Stokes include Joe Root, who has previously captained England in Test cricket, and Jonny Bairstow, who has deputised for Stokes in the past.

Reaction to Stokes' Injury

The news of Stokes' injury has been met with disappointment from England fans and cricket experts.

Former England captain Michael Vaughan said: "It's a huge blow for England. Stokes is one of the best all-rounders in the world, and his absence will be a major setback for the team."

Current England coach Brendon McCullum said: "We are all very disappointed for Ben. He is a huge part of our team, and we will miss him dearly."

Stokes is expected to make a full recovery from his injury, but it is unclear when he will be able to return to action.
