These bubbles are wrecking people.

 

Indian players will be away from loved ones for months. Not an ideal situ to be in. 

[Gollum]

Get well soon Ben 

 

Hasn't really troubled us with the bat. Game changer with the ball, like Edgbaston 2018.

Ashwin will be disappointed

[puneet28]

Why do England players take stress breaks more than any other teams? Is it because other teams are not comfortable in talking about mental health?

How much advantage india has now in test series? Craig Overton is his replacement.

 

Always an advantage when a player like him sits out, he is one player who can win a game from nowhere . Also he has taken kohli's wkt quite a few times

A lot of people have done that from Anderson to Moeen Ali

Will he come back for the Ashes?

[vvvslaxman]

Treschothik was such a fantastic batsman. THey lost him. He was like Engladnd's Sehwag. Will it be the same with Stokes? Will they lose him forever?

[daryl1985]

He'll be back, just needs a break.

Lost his father after a long battle with cancer.  

Had to deal with some negative media regarding his fathers illness and the way he plays the game, it is bound to take a toll mentally and physically.

Has been missed a lot in this series.  

Not sure he will be at the Ashes, not an expert but Australia's quarantine and lockdown measures seem quite dranconian from what i have read  on twitter.
