England quick Olly Stone opens up about 'sickening' injury nightmare and Ashes dream

Olly Stone has had a torrid time with injuries throughout his career, with the 29-year-old perhaps the most unfortunate of all of England's genuine quicks in recent years.

While the likes of Jofra Archer and Mark Wood have had both long and repeated injury lay-offs, Stone has made just nine appearances for England since debuting in 2018 against Sri Lanka. He has suffered four stress fractures of the back, which could have ended his career, but Stone has battled back and is once again involved in England's white-ball setup.

Having returned from a stress fracture earlier this summer, Stone featured in ten T20 Blast games for Warwickshire before breaking his finger while fielding a second XI match and needing to undergo surgery. "That was a sickener," he told the Telegraph.
