The risk was way too high for damaging this any further - Stokes on injury
England captain Ben Stokes says his latest injury will not impact his participation in this winter's Ashes after he was ruled out of the fifth and final Test against India, which starts on Thursday.
Stokes misses out at The Oval with a shoulder problem, sustained during the draw at Old Trafford, with a tight turnaround of just four days between Tests.
But the all-rounder says he is only expecting to be sidelined for around six or seven weeks.
"It is one of those of weighing up the risk-reward, and the risk was way too high for damaging this any further than it currently is," said Stokes.
