A Forgetful Series For Ben Stokes In Pakistan
It was a forgetful series for Ben Stokes in Pakistan as he firstly missed the first match after failing to recover in time from his hamstring injury he suffered during the Hundred.
He returned for the 2nd and 3rd Test match and scored just 53 runs in four innings with the bat. He did roll his arms but failed to get a solitary wicket.
England lost both the matches and lost the series 1-2 despite winning the first match of the three-game series.
