Ben Stokes taking an indefinite break from cricket, missing the upcoming Test series, citing mental health and his finger injury not healing properly. Hopefully he'll be okay with a bit of time to work through this stuff. His dad's death last winter must have been difficult enough to cope with already, without the eco-bubbles and periods of isolation the players had to go through at the same time. All the best, Stokesy, and come back stronger.
