Ben Stokes may be out of Test series against India, this is the big reason

 

Before the World Cup 2023, England's legendary all-rounder Ben Stokes retired from ODIs. At the same time, he has now indicated that he may need knee surgery after the ODI World Cup, due to which he will not be able to play in the Test series between India and England early next year. Due to chronic tendonitis in his knee, England Test captain Stokes has mostly played as a batsman this year. 

Stokes said, "I know what's going to happen, I don't think right now is the right time to say what I'm doing. I've been having good conversations with some experts. There's a plan. It's It's good to know that after the World Cup we have something, a very good plan that we can do and we can stick to it. I want to play as a real all-rounder next summer. This winter It's about playing the World Cup and then healing this knee."

If the England Test captain has to undergo surgery after the World Cup, it may take time for him to be fit for the five-match Test series in India starting on January 25. Let us tell you that Stokes will be seen playing in the World Cup to be held in India. This mega tournament will start from October 5 and end on November 19. England has announced the team for this World Cup.
