For family reasons, Ben Stokes, the ace all-rounder of England, will miss the remaining two tests against Pakistan. Stokes is expected to leave the UK for New Zealand later this week and will miss the Ageas Bowl Tests, the ECB reported on Sunday (August 9), taking no more part in the England Test-match series. His father Ged, who was hospitalized during the England tour last December in South Africa, has since been confirmed to recover in Christchurch, New Zealand.
