England captain Ben Stokes will miss the crucial fifth and final Test against India due to a shoulder injury.
According to the England and Wales Cricket Board, Oli Pope, who is the vice-captain, will lead the team in the Test which starts on Thursday at the Oval. England lead 2-1 in the five-Test series. Stokes also suffered an injury in the previous Test of the
series. But he has bowled 140 overs so far in the series. This is the first time in his career that he has bowled so much in one series. He has taken 17 wickets. This is the most wicket taken by bowlers of both teams.
Stokes said in the prematch conference held on Wednesday, "I am naturally sad about not being able to play the last game." The 34-year-old Stokes, who has been plagued by injuries throughout his playing career, added, "I have a problem with my shoulder." In such a situation, anyone is emotional. The fourth test at Old Trafford in Manchester ended in a tie.
The name of the English team participating in that match has been announced by changing four players for the final match. Returning to the team are Jacob Bethel, Josh Tongue and Gus Atkinson and Jamie Overton. Fast bowlers Jofra Archer and Braden Carsey have been rested.
