“Ben Stokes’ return is a massive boost to England’s squad for Ashes,” says captain Joe Root
Stokes had 2 surgeries for his injury and initially was not a part of Chris Silverwood’s squad for the Ashes series. It was at the last moment the announcement was made by the ECB that Stokes will indeed be a part of the squad for the Ashes series which is due to begin on December the 8th.
