ODI World Cup 2023: The performance of the defending champion England team in the ODI World Cup 2023 has not been very special. The England team has lost two out of three matches, out of which one defeat has come against the Afghanistan team. England is still missing its star all-rounder Ben Stokes a lot in this tournament. But now this player is ready to make his comeback.

Stokes ready to make a comeback

Ben Stokes is almost fit to play against South Africa on Saturday after missing the first three matches due to a hip injury. Stokes, who made a comeback ahead of the World Cup after announcing his retirement from ODIs last year, has not played in any of England's first three matches in the tournament. The star player was ruled out due to a hip injury. England now need to win five of their last six World Cup matches to have the best chance of reaching the semi-finals.

Batted against Afghanistan

Stokes had batted in the nets in Delhi before the match against Afghanistan, but according to Jos Buttler, shortly before playing the match, it was decided that he would not be able to be included in the playing 11. England head coach Matthew Mott, while giving an update on Stokes, has said that he is confident that he will play against South Africa.

Stokes is a great all-rounder

Stokes, who performed brilliantly in the 2019 World Cup final, has scored 3,159 runs at an average of 40.50 and taken 74 wickets in 108 ODIs since his debut in 2011.
