Olly Stone Out for 14 Weeks After Knee Surgery

England pacer Olly Stone will miss the entire Test summer due to a right knee injury that necessitated surgery, sidelining him for 14 weeks. The 31-year-old, who has faced a series of injuries throughout his career, will miss critical matches against Zimbabwe and India. His absence adds to England's fast-bowling woes, following Mark Wood's similar fate due to knee surgery. Both players will not participate in any Tests prior to the Ashes series in Australia later this year. Stone's rehabilitation is expected to conclude by August, allowing him to potentially return for the Men's Hundred tournament. The situation highlights England's ongoing challenges with player fitness as they prepare for upcoming series.
