Ben Stokes, the renowned England cricketer, has recently revealed that he underwent knee surgery as a final resort to address his longstanding knee issue. The surgery involved stitching his meniscus and removing a bone spur from his knee. Stokes acknowledged that surgery is always the last option, as it can have both positive and negative outcomes for athletes. He highlighted the momentous danger sign of swelling in his knee during the World Cup, which prompted him to undergo the surgery. Stokes has since invested considerable effort in his fitness and rehabilitation, which has resulted in significant weight loss and improved comfort while batting. However, he cautioned that he is not yet prepared to resume competitive bowling. Stokes is hopeful that the surgery and weight loss will enable him to play cricket for an extended period of time. He has earmarked the summer as the ideal timeframe to return to bowling.
