England Captain Ben Stokes Sidelined for Three Months with Torn Hamstring

Stokes will undergo surgery in January after sustaining the injury during England's Test series victory in New Zealand.

Ben Stokes tore his left hamstring during the third Test against New Zealand, where England secured a 2-1 series victory.
The England and Wales Cricket Board confirmed Stokes will be out of cricket for at least three months and will undergo surgery in January.
This injury marks a recurrence of hamstring issues that previously sidelined Stokes during the summer, forcing him to miss multiple matches.
The 33-year-old all-rounder will miss England's white-ball tour of India, the Champions Trophy in Pakistan, and South Africa's SA20 T20 league.
Stokes expressed determination to return stronger, emphasizing his commitment to England's upcoming Test schedule, including the summer series against India and the 2025 Ashes.
