Ben Stokes is unlikely to be risked for England's match with Bangladesh, amid concerns over the safety of the playing surface.
Ben Stokes is unlikely to be risked for England's Cricket World Cup clash with Bangladesh on Tuesday, as concerns increase over the safety of the Dharmashala playing surface. Afghanistan head coach Jonathan Trott criticised the state of the HPCA Stadium following his side's match with Bangladesh on Saturday, insisting that the loose, sandy outfield posed an injury risk to his players.
'The last thing you want is two guys going off with knee injuries or something. It can contribute to shoulders as well, if you're diving and your elbows get stuck in the ground. But it's like the pitch being different one venue to another, you've just got to adapt to it. 'When you're out there fielding with spikes on it will naturally become clear what you can and can't do. It might just be a case of boxing a bit clever with how you go about it.
