Oh wonderful, so he finally scores a 50 and NOW he remembers he’s injured. What perfect timing! I’m sure it has nothing to do with the fact that India were about to bat and he’d have to bowl. Absolutely brilliant strategy mate 👏
So let me get this strait… he was afraid of getting injured, then scored 50, then got injured anyway? Make it make sense. This entire situation is joke and England are paying the price for poor planning
People saying he’s injury prone are completly missing the point. The guy plays all three formats, captains the test side, bowls fast, bats aggresively – what do you expect?? Maybe if England managed their players better instead of running them into ground this wouldnt happen every single time
wait so did he retire from cricket or just retired hurt from the match?? title is confusing af. if he actually retired from international cricket thats massive news but if its just this match then why the dramatic headline??
For those wondering, Stokes has missed approximately 40% of England’s test matches in last 3 years due to various injuries and mental health breaks. His first fifty came in the 2nd innings at 51 not out before the injury occured during fielding session. The injury appears to be related to his chronic knee problem that’s been plagueing him since 2023.
This is absolutely devasteting news for England cricket. Stokes has been thier backbone and loosing him now specially after he just got his form back with that 50 is huge blow. Hope he recovers quick and comes back stronger than ever!!
This really sad to see actually. Whatever people say about him, Stokes is genuine match winner when fit. That 50 showed he still got it. But his body just cant keep up anymore with the demands. Maybe its time for England to seriously consider his workload managment or even transition him to batting only role?
Typical Stokes drama honestly. Gets one decent score and then conviniently gets injured again. How many times we gonna see this pattern? England need players who can actually stay fit not glass cannons
Here we go again with the Stokes injury circus. Every single series same story different day. Maybe try yoga or something idk but this is getting ridiculus now. England cant build team around someone whos never available when it matters most!!
The irony of being scared of injuries and then getting injured is not lost on anyone here right? Classic Stokes. Gets a fifty, thinks he’s invincible again, pushes too hard, breaks down. Rinse and repeat. When will he learn that he’s not 25 anymore lmao

Devastating but not surprising given his injury history. Get well soon legend
