Ben Stokes has sustained a significant facial injury after being struck by a cricket ball.
The England Test captain posted a picture on Instagram showing his right eye heavily swollen and bruised, a graze on his cheek and lip, and a bandage stuffed in his nose. He captioned the picture: “You should see the state of the cricket ball.”
The 34-year-old is back in England after the dismal Ashes tour, which ended with a 4-1 defeat, with question marks still hanging over his position, amid a review by the England and Wales Cricket Board.
