Olly Stone rules himself out of England's Test summer in emphatic statement on future

England cricketer Olly Stone has ruled himself out playing test cricket this summer. The fast bowler last represented his country in the longest format in 2021 against New Zealand.

The 28-year-old’s career has been blighted by injury and he has suffered four stress fractures in the last five years. He is set to make another comeback and is due to represent county champions Warwickshire this summer.

Therefore, he will not put himself forward for England selection until the winter, as he endeavours to build up his fitness and confidence. "Maybe for the right reasons it could be get a good block of cricket this summer for Warwickshire and maybe some white-ball cricket for England if selected,” Stone told The Telegraph.
