England captain Ben Stokes has reassured fans he is now bowling pain free after struggling with a chronic left knee injury.
Stokes has been managing the issue for around a year, but visibly struggled with the injury on England's Test tour of New Zealand in February. He only bowled nine overs across the two Tests and was particularly affected by it while both batting and bowling in the second Test in Wellington.
He admitted after the game the injury was "holding me back" and there have been concerns he could break down during this summer's Ashes, with England set to play five Tests against Australia in a tight 46-day window.
