Disappointed to not finish the series, says Ben Stokes
The Statesman Siliguri
|July 31, 2025
After ruling himself out of the fifth and final Test against India due to a shoulder injury, England skipper Ben Stokes exuded confidence on his team to get the job done as he felt that the injury was "too big a risk" to aggravate.
The 34-year-old, who has led England to a 2-1 series lead with 302 runs and 17 wickets, including a five-wicket haul at Old Trafford, confirmed that vice-captain Ollie Pope would lead the hosts in his absence.
"Disappointed to not finish the series. I have a decent tear in the muscle I can't pronounce," he said at the pre-match presser.
"I came down here this morning trying to find ways just to contribute to the batting. After discussions with the medical team, it was decided. The risk was way too high. I wouldn't have expected anyone else in my place to risk this as well."
