England are not prepared to take any risks on a player who has been so instrumental to their success over the years
Stokes again cut a forlorn figure during training at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Friday evening 48 hours out from, England are hoping their talisman will be back for the game Saturday week against a South African team who racked up a World Cup record total of 428 for five in their first match against Sri Lanka and then annihilated Australia in their second by 134 runs on Thursday.
“I’ve had a couple of starts,” he said. “It would have been nice if I’d have gone on especially against New Zealand but, obviously that win against Bangladesh was awesome and hopefully we can do that again in a couple of days’ time here.” Brook also revealed Stokes’ influence around the group is as big as ever despite the fact he has not yet played in the tournament.
“Yeah, absolutely,” he said. “He’s a great lad. Everybody enjoys his company, and obviously Test captain as well, he’s got a lot of experience, he’s one of the best players to play for England so if you ever feel like you need anything or want any help, he’s the man to go to.”
