Olly Stone Ruled Out for 14 Weeks, Misses India Test Series

England fast bowler Olly Stone has been ruled out for 14 weeks following knee surgery, jeopardizing his participation in a critical summer of cricket, including a five-match Test series against India starting June 20. Stone's injury, which worsened during Nottinghamshire's pre-season tour in Abu Dhabi, has led to a significant setback for the English team, already dealing with injuries to fellow bowlers Mark Wood and Brydon Carse. The England and Wales Cricket Board confirmed that Stone will begin rehabilitation under the supervision of medical teams from both the ECB and Nottinghamshire. Despite his absence, he aims for a return to play for London Spirit in the Hundred by August. This injury continues a string of fitness issues that have plagued Stone's career, limiting his appearances for the national team. Stone has previously participated in five Tests, achieving 17 wickets but has faced interruptions due to various injuries throughout his career.
