England skipper Ben Stokes dismissed concerns about his knee after he was seen hobbling when he took a catch in their test victory over Ireland on Saturday, saying it would not be a problem ahead of the Ashes later this month.
England team captain Ben Stokes believes that he played the 'John Terry role' in his IPL team CSK's victory this season. Stoke referred to Chelsea Legend 'John Terry' who famously lifted the Champions League trophy in 2012 dressed in his Chelsea kit despite missing the final against Bayern Munich through suspension. Stokes during press commitments at Lord's discussed his role in his team's victory in IPL. He said, "I played a little bit of a John Terry role winning the IPL" Stokes joined the CSK franchise for INR 16.25 crore but played only two matches due to a toe injury. Stokes last appeared in April against Lucknow Super Giants.
ENG vs IRE, One-Off Test Day 1 Live Updates: England skipper Ben Stokes won the toss and opted to bowl against Ireland in a four-day one-off Test on Thursday.

Captain Ben Stokes says his knee injury “is in a much better place” as England prepare to take on Ireland in their only warm-up Test ahead of taking on Australia in this summer's Ashes.
England have added uncapped Worcestershire seamer Josh Tongue to their squad for next week's Lord's Test against Ireland. The 25-year-old has been drafted in as cover due to injury concerns over pacemen James Anderson and Ollie Robinson, both of whom remain with the group but are unlikely to be risked ahead of the start of the Ashes next month. Stuart Broad, Chris Woakes, Matthew Potts and Mark Wood are the other pacemen in the squad for the one-off Test against Ireland, starting on June 1.
NEW DELHI : Chennai Super Kings all-rounder Ben Stokes will be on the sidelines for at least another week after his latest injury setback, coach Stephen Fleming said.
England all-rounder Moeen Ali believes compatriot Ben Stokes to be an obvious candidate for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captaincy in the Indian Premier League (IPL) once the current skipper MS Dhoni decides to call it quits. CSK splurged big money on Stokes in the IPL 2023 auction last year in December, but his performance has been underwhelming in two games so far, having scored 15 runs in two games and having bowled only one over. England's Test team has transformed under Stokes' leadership within nearly a year, winning 10 out of 12 matches under him. Moeen opines that Stokes' success with England makes him an easy choice to succeed Dhoni as a skipper, but feels that the change might not be imminent.
Chennai Super Kings started their IPL 2023 campaign with a 5-wicket loss at the hands of defending champions Gujarat Titans. However, they made a good comeback in their next match and defeated Lucknow Super Giants by 12 runs. The MS Dhoni-led side is now set to face Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday night. However, before the game they fear a big blow as their star all-rounder Ben Stokes is reportedly set to miss the action for 10 days due to injury.
