England captain Ben Stokes hopes to play a full role with the bat and ball. As his team begins their Ashes preparations with a four-day Test against Ireland on Thursday.
Ben Stokes Knee Injury
Stokes’ knee injury has cast question on his ability to play as all-rounder, and it flared up during the drawn test series in New Zealand in February.
Stokes bowled only nine overs in the two tests against New Zealand. But he firmly intends to be part of England’s attack in Australia.
The Southpaw only played twice for Chennai Super Kings in the recently concluded Indian Premier League. After suffering knee injuries during the February tour of New Zealand.

However, Stokes, 31, said his knee is much better than it was in New Zealand. That he will play as an all-rounder for England against Ireland at Lord’s and then Australia.
“My knee is in a much better place than it was in Wellington,” said Stokes while speaking to reporters at pre-match conference.
“I have got myself into a place where I feel like I am back at 2019, 2020 with my body. Hopefully I can turn up every day and bowl like I was able to do before this little niggle,” he said. “We know what the problem is and it’s about managing it with workload and the medical team, just to get through it.”
England is set to play a four-day test match against Thursday, followed by the much-anticipated Ashes, starting June 16.
