England star Ben Stokes said he never considered taking the “easy way out” by leaving the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 early for his impending knee surgery even though his side was out of the knockout race.
Stokes revealed after England’s 33-run loss to Australia in Ahmedabad last week that he would have an operation later this month in order to solve the chronic left knee issue, which has forced him to play just as a specialist batter since July.
