Stokes' Return Ahead Of India Series Will Be A Huge Boost, Says Alastair Cook

By IANS News June 22, 2021 • 11:50 AM View: 1650

Former England Test and one-day captain Alastair Cook feels the return of all-rounder Ben Stokes from an injury would give the team a huge boost ahead of the five-match Test series against India in August-September this year.

Stokes marked his return to cricket after a surgery to his left index finger on Sunday, striking an 18-ball 29 and taking one wicket, as his county side Durham defeated Birmingham Bears by 22 runs in the Vitality Blast T20 tournament here.
