“I think it was pretty obvious that I was struggling with my knee a bit out in the Caribbean. At the moment there is no training. So I will go and get the scans and then we can find out what’s going on, and then hopefully can make a plan from there,” Stokes said on Round the wicket podcast.
The all-rounder, who skipped IPL 2022, was all set to play county cricket of Durham but that seems to far-fetched now. He further opened up on how he was just getting back to his best when this injury happened, by saying “I want to say, yes. I felt like I was at somewhere near (my level best).
