Stokes injured in the Hundred. Who steps up to be England captain ?

[CartyDurham]

Looks a very serious hamstring injury during a Hundred game . If confirmed that’s him out for at least the first Sri Lanka test .

Who do you think will come in or is already in to be captain ?

Woakes

Woakes

Why?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Pope

Pope

I think he is the nominated vice captain. Stokes looked really badly injured and I can’t see him playing the rest of the English summer

so England will need to bring in another potential all rounder or just go for another batsman

it looked really bad

This one’s new isn’t it? Poor guy just can’t catch a break.

The injury ? Definite hamstring by how he reacted and then he could barely put weight on it as he was helped from the field

minimum 6 weeks if not more

Best player, talisman, proven FC captaincy record vs Sri Lanka from the England Lions tour of February 2014, all round swell guy.

Harry Brook should be captain.

My team would be

Duckett, Lawrence, Pope, Root, Cox, Brook, Smith, Woakes, Wood, Potts, Atkinson

What's Bashir done to get dropped?

 

[Pothas]

I reckon they might have Woakes at 7 and play the extra bowler.

 

[Burgey]

They're lucky it's only SL. They could play 2.5 bowlers against that shower and win easily. Hopefully Stokes is back fully fit and raring to go asap.
