Stokes breaks wrist punching locker during WI T20

Ben Stokes has been ruled out of the World T20 after breaking his wrist when he punched a locker in the dressing room following his dismissal in the final T20 against West Indies.

He will be replaced for the event by Chris Woakes, the Warwickshire allrounder, and it is the second enforced change to England’s squad following the broken thumb sustained by Joe Root earlier in the tour.

Stokes was dismissed first ball in the third T20, bowled by Krishmar Santokie, and the injury occurred a short while later in the dressing room.

“I am really disappointed to be missing out on going to a World T20 with England,” Stokes said. “It was a huge error in judgement following a frustrating tour for me and I deeply regret my behaviour. I would like to wish the team all the very best in Bangladesh…”

dem hinglish cuffing dem way out of the WC!!  ::LOL:: ::LOL::

that is cowlashing w/c, brazil in june is what they have their eyes on

Hahaha oh man. I was like "WTF?" when I heard this first. I mean is he super retarded or what? In fairness though, emotions got the better of him I guess - but still? HOw'd he break is flipping wrist? Sheesh.

what on earth can make a man justifiably break his hand on a steel cabinet by punching it straight up ::confused::

Stokes was so impressive a while back against tough opposition, real opposition.  I was so impressed I had him tops in my ODI fantasy team.  the man has talent but he is so stupid he allows west indies of all teams to get to him to that extent

the way I see it is that he may have gotten a lil too full of himself and he needs to get back on the ground, collect himself and make teams pay..not himself by cuffing steel.

that is what real players do.. absorb and learn from low points to emerge at the top end with lixx fuh bowlers all over the place

the man needs serious counselling.  there is no need at all for that kind of behaviour if he is not nuts
