England Test captain to have knee surgery after World Cup.

By Matthew Henry.

England Test captain Ben Stokes says he will undergo surgery after the World Cup to address his ongoing knee issue.

The 32-year-old’s knee has been a long-term problem, with the all-rounder unable to bowl and playing only as a batter during the World Cup in India.

England play Australia on Saturday before their campaign concludes a week later against Pakistan on 11 November.

They return to India for a five-match Test series, starting on 25 January, but Stokes says he hopes to be fit.
