England's Stokes to take 'indefinite break' for mental wellbeing, injury recovery
The Peninsula
England all-rounder Ben Stokes has taken an indefinite break from all cricket with immediate effect to prioritise his mental wellbeing and continue his recovery from an injury to his left index finger, the country's cricket board (ECB) said on Friday.
Stokes, 30, has withdrawn from England's test squad for next week's series against India and will be replaced by Craig Overton. The ECB said it fully supported his decision and it would "continue to help him during this period away from the game".More Related News
