Ben Stokes has promised there is “more left in the tank” after being sidelined for at least three months with a hamstring injury.

The England Test captain suffered an injury during the recent Test series against New Zealand and is expected to undergo surgery next month.

After the England and Wales Cricket Board revealed the severity of his injury, Stokes wrote on his personal

“There is a lot more left in this tank, a lot more blood sweat and tears to go through for our team and this shirt.

“There’s a reason I have a phoenix permanently tattooed on my body.”

Stokes concluded his message bluntly, adding: “See you on the field.* Some* consolation.”

Stokes suffered the injury during the third Test against New Zealand in Hamilton earlier this month, a series England won 2-1.

On Sunday, the 33-year-old all-rounder, who has not played in an ODI since the 2023 World Cup, was left out of England’s squad for the Champions Trophy in February and March.

“Ben Stokes has been ruled out of all cricket for at least three months after further assessment confirmed he suffered a torn left hamstring,” an England and Wales Cricket Board spokesman said on Monday evening.

“The Durham all-rounder is expected to undergo surgery in January.”

Despite playing against New Zealand, Stokes had previously missed the summer series against Sri Lanka and the first Test against Pakistan in the autumn due to a hamstring problem.

Stokes suffered a hamstring problem while bowling 37 in the third Test against New Zealand and handed the captaincy reins to Ollie Pope on the field.

He later insisted he was ready to continue digging deep for England, saying there would be “no holding back” as he recovers from his latest injury troubles.
