Stone ready to play with a smile on his face on return to England Test side
Nottinghamshire's Olly Stone poses for a photo during the media day at Trent Bridge, Nottingham, March 22, 2023
OLLY STONE is set for his first Test appearance in three years after being drafted in as England’s pace x-factor in the absence of the injured Mark Wood.
With a thigh strain ruling Wood out of the rest of the series against Sri Lanka, Stone, who has a chequered injury record of his own, has been named in the XI for the second Test at Lord’s, starting tomorrow.
The inclusion of the 30-year-old is England’s only change from the side that claimed a five-wicket win in last week’s series opener and is a heartening return for a bowler who has endured so many setbacks.
