Steve Harmison issues injury warning to Ben Stokes with Ashes just months away
Steve Harmison believes it is ‘impossible’ for Ben Stokes to play in the Indian Premier League and be fully fit in time for the Ashes., Stokes was in severe pain and was seen regularly clutching at his knee.“This guy has got a really high pain threshold,” said Harmison on talkSPORT 2.“We’ve been watching it and seeing the demise of it this innings and this was the first time that he’s [shown] the rest of the general public.
In December, Stokes was purchased for £1.6m by Chennai Super Kings, with the tournament set to begin on March 31. “[But] looking at this I think that’s impossible now. I think a big conversation between the medical team, Rob Key, Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes, is how do we get you fit for June? Forget any other cricket, because that is the most important thing at this minute in time.”At the close of play, Stokes himself conceded his frustration at not being able to play his full role for England, but insisted that he still plans to fulfil his contract with Chennai Super Kings.
