Adelaide, December 14, : , England All-rounder Ben Stokes said that he is confident of being fit for the Ashes second Test in Adelaide.He had injured his knee fielding at The Gabba during the first Test, where Australia beat Australia by nine wickets.After being seen caring for his knees time after again, Stokes (30 years old) was the most concerning tourist.He appeared to be in apparent discomfort and had been there repeatedly.
Stokes, in addition to being an excellent batter and seamer in the middle order after Jack Leach’s run in the first Test gave way to Stokes.
He wrote that people would have noticed me rub my knees from time to time while I was playing in the field.
But rest assured, I’m perfectly fine,” he said in his column in The Mirror.
It is an old injury, which flares up from time to time.
But I am able to deal with it.Sometimes it can be a bit painful around my cartilage.It just makes it look worse, Stokes said.
“We have a good track record of bouncing back pretty well after a defeat early in a series.
We came back against South Africa to win, we came back against the West Indies last year to win, so we’ve done it before and we can do it again,” added Stokes.
On Tuesday, Stokes bowled full tilt at the nets and England skipper Joe Root was lucky to survive a bouncer from the all-rounder, a video of which has gone viral.
“No surprises that Joe Root is the last to leave the nets at England training.Copped a knock to the helmet off Ben Stokes a bit earlier but didn’t appear affected.He’s in nice touch #Ashes,” a fan tweeted.
