“Bionic Man for a while. Surgery done. In a bit….” Stokes captioned his Instagram post.

Stokes recovered to full fitness after a continuous recovery program, and he had played as an all-rounder in the series against New Zealand. However, he was not able to continue in the match as he came up with a problem mid-over due to high demand put on him.

The England team for Champions Trophy has already excluded Ben Stokes from their squad, but he has a chance to concentrate on rehabilitation and return to Tests since there are no matches scheduled for the country till May.
