Ben Stokes has been sidelined for at least three months due to a torn hamstring, forcing him to miss upcoming cricket tours and competitions.
Ben Stokes has been ruled out of all cricket for at least three months due to a torn left hamstring. The injury occurred while bowling on day three of the third Test in England's recent 2-1 series victory over New Zealand. The 33-year-old will undergo surgery in January, just months after he was sidelined by an injury on the same hamstring earlier this year.

'No, I ain't holding back,' Stokes said after the series finale at Seddon Park. 'I was obviously incredibly disappointed walking off the other day, I was very emotional about the whole thing. But you sleep on it, take the emotion out and realise that every time you walk out on the field as an athlete you're putting yourself at risk of injury.

'Every setback, I come back stronger. There's no doubt I'll be going away from here, working hard as I always do and getting myself back to where I was. That's my jo
