Knee And Toe Injury

Firstly, Stokes missed the majority of IPL 2023 and sat on the bench for CSK as he had issues with his knees. The southpaw eventually underwent surgery last year. 

Not just the knee, but Stokes was also out of the action because of a toe injury that prolonged his return to the field. 

Owing to these injuries, Stokes had opted out of IPL 2024 as he was recovering from knee surgery. 

Hip Injury

During the 2023 World Cup, Stokes revealed that he heard a pop in his hip and was concerned about his World Cup being over. It was when he was in Guwahati that he had slightly injured his hip. The scans cleared him of a major injury, but he still felt discomfort.

"When I initially did it, I thought I was done," Stokes revealed on Thursday, "because it's not good hearing a pop. Thankfully, it wasn't anywhere near as bad as what we initially thought… we got a programme in place straight away and it went well. I'm here now, physically being available for selection, so it's pretty good."

Hamstring Injury

During the Northern Superchargers game against Manchester Originals, Stokes went for a quick single but pulled his hamstring. He then needed to be taken off the field by stretcher, and at the end of the game required crutches to be able to shake hands with opponents and teammates.
