England duo Ben Stokes and Jos Butler will not return from injury, Eoin Morgan says | Cricket News

“The last thing we want to do is to drive someone back and jump with such a high intensity”; England white team captain Eoin Morgan said that there is no temptation for Ben Stokes or Jos Buttler to come back from injury in the ODI or IT20 series against Pakistan.

Eoin Morgan insisted that there was no temptation for Ben Stokes to return to England’s one-day series against Pakistan and would adopt a similarly cautious approach to Jos Buttler.

Stokes fractured his left index finger when he played for the Rajasthan Royals in April, and it took him several weeks to recover from surgery before returning for Durham last month.

Since then, the all-rounder has played 6 games in Vitality Blast, with a maximum score of 35 points and 8 wickets under his belt. He is currently playing first class in the LV= Insurance County Championship against Warwickshire s return.

But he will not participate in the three Royal London series against Pakistan that started in Cardiff on Thursday, because the England team is conservative about his health and fitness.

Since his best player hero performance in the 2019 World Cup finals, he will also miss his first ODI at Lord’s, but getting him ready for the main summer course-five tests against India-is a priority.

When asked if Stokes was being considered for action this week, Morgan said: “No, not yet.

“When it is not necessarily needed, the last thing we want to do is to get someone back and jump from county cricket to international cricket at an intensity level. We are very happy that Ben has made progress as he sees fit, and obviously we have one. Pay attention to the test series.”

Stokes hasn’t played for England in the Indian white ball series since he injured his finger in the IPL.

Butler is currently absent due to a calf injury, and there are many cricket matches-including the T20 World Cup and the Winter Ashes Tour-his case has also been handled carefully.

“We are not sure yet, but as far as I know, the Mavericks may be very moody,” Morgan said.

“It depends on how he feels. This is similar to Ben. If there is a 50-50 chance, the priority will not be to get him back as soon as possible. I know he improved his running a few days ago and it does feel good, but things It may change.”

As Jofra Archer is also currently absent, the unlimited George Garton, along with marginal players such as Liam Dawson and Tom Banton, were called up to the team to participate in the series against Sri Lanka.

Although England have won the first five games, all three were excluded from the final game of the Sri Lanka trip on Sunday.

Bristol’s game was eventually eliminated after the England team dismissed the visitors with 166 points, but Morgan was happy to explain the logic behind the conservative team’s choice.

“We rarely let someone participate in a one-off game. The reason behind it is that it doesn’t have a lot of background unless it deals with a series of games,” he said.

“When you determine that a player or a genius enters the team, I believe you should always invest in that genius and in the long run…give him many opportunities, not just one.

“For many years, I have been watching players come in and out, get a one-time match, no matter if it is opportunity or form, they haven’t given them too much after that. This is not the way you want to treat good assets, or the future. asset.”
