England Captain’s Commitment to Recovery
England’s Test captain Ben Stokes has made a significant lifestyle change by quitting alcohol at the start of 2025 to support his recovery from a hamstring injury. The 33-year-old all-rounder suffered a torn left hamstring during the third Test against New Zealand in December 2024 and has since undergone surgery and intensive rehabilitation.
In a candid interview on the Untapped podcast, Stokes revealed that his previous drinking habits were “all or nothing” and that giving up alcohol has helped improve both his physical fitness and mental wellbeing.
Ben Stokes Set for Test Return Against Zimbabwe
Ben Stokes is expected to make his long-awaited return to international cricket in a one-off four-day Test match against Zimbabwe, starting May 22, 2025, at Trent Bridge. This will mark his first appearance for England in 2025.
His comeback is eagerly anticipated as England prepares for a challenging five-match Test series against India later this summer, where Stokes will be a crucial player with both bat and ball.
