Cricket: England captain Stokes an injury concern ahead of Sri Lanka Test series

# Cricket: England captain Ben Stokes is a major injury concern ahead of the start of the Test series against Sri Lanka next week. He was carried off injured during The Hundred after pulling up while batting for the Northern Superchargers against Manchester Originals at Old Trafford yesterday. Stokes, who was seen on crutches after the match, is set to undergo a scan today to determine the extent of the injury. If he is unavailable for England duty, vice-captain Ollie Pope will likely captain the side.
