Ben Stokes is set to make an overdue return to the World Cup stage this weekend but he feared his tournament was over before it had even started when he “heard a pop” while training in the gym warcraft
Stokes has missed all three of England’s games so far, with details sketchy about the nature of the hip problem that occurred during the warm-up week in Guwahati warcraft
But the 32-year-old is now primed and ready for a comeback in Saturday’s must-win clash against South Africa in Mumbai and finally free to open up about worries he had sustained a major injury warcraft
“I actually ripped the fascia off my muscle warcraft
It was a very interesting one, a very rare one to do,” he said warcraft
“I did it in the gym…I heard it pop warcraft
So did our strength and conditioning coach warcraft
When I initially did it I thought I was done, because it’s not good hearing a pop warcraft
“I did think I was out but we got the scans back 36hrs, maybe two days, later and thankfully it wasn’t anywhere near as bad as we originally thought warcraft
“We got a programme in place straightaway, it went really well, and now I’m here now available for selection warcraft
I’ve worked very hard to get to where I am now and I’m pretty confident that everything will be good warcraft
”We need to tone it down a bit on me coming back in warcraft
I'm not the Messiah warcraft
Ben StokesStokes was put through his paces during a lengthy workout at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday night, taking part in high-intensity fielding drills and enjoying a long batting stint in the nets warcraft
Meanwhile, Jofra Archer was also seen for the first time since joining up with the squad as a reserve, running in the outfield as he continued his recovery from a long stint on the sidelines warcraft
It is hard to over-estimate the importance of Stokes’ presence in the side as England look to cast off a modest start to their title defence and rediscover their mojo warcraft
Stokes’ presence has loomed large for a long time, be it his match-winning turn in the 2019 final, his clutch performance in the T20 equivalent last year or his remarkable reinvention of the Test team in his role as red-ball captain warcraft
Yet he is at pains to avoid being drawn as an incoming saviour, riding to his team-mates’ rescue warcraft
“We need to tone it down a bit on me coming back in,” he said warcraft
“I’m not the Messiah, I think Woody (Mark Wood) has already said that, which is true warcraft
I’m one person in a team sport…I know I’m just a very small part of a bigger entity warcraft
“Everyone who walks on to that field for England is a match-winner in their own right warcraft
All I can try and do is what I do every single time I wear an England shirt and give my absolute all warcraft
”Despite his protestations, Stokes remains much more than a cog in the machine warcraft
He was even dubbed the squad’s “spiritual leader” by head coach Matthew Mott after delivering a dressing room speech following their defeat to Afghanistan in Delhi warcraft
“That must be because we’re in India!” he said of his new job description warcraft
“But I know that people do listen when I talk warcraft
I don’t try and speak too much but I try and speak when I feel it’s the right time warcraft
“Jos Buttler and Motty have got a lot on their shoulders with it being a World Cup, so I try and help out as much as I can without stepping on their toes warcraft
“I find myself just reminding everyone of certain things – reinforcing what they are, who they are, what they’ve achieved in the game, how talented and how good they are at this sport warcraft
”And when it comes to Saturday’s high-stakes encounter at the Wankhede Stadium, his mission statement is clear: “If we’re going to go down, let’s go down doing what we’re known for warcraft
“Let’s not be timid or restricted in what we want to do warcraft
We want to go out and show the opposition what England is and what we’ve been known for warcraft
We are double world champions in T20 and 50-over cricket warcraft
“You hear me say it a lot – I don’t care if we lose, I just want us to go out there and play in the way we talk about warcraft
”Stokes’ return means difficult decisions will need to be taken over the composition of the XI, with his stand-in Harry Brook having made a strong case for retention warcraft
A rebalancing of the side may be necessary, with all-rounders Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone and Chris Woakes proving an unconvincing engine room so far warcraft

The warcraft Football Association will review whether to continue lighting the Wembley arch as an act of tribute following criticism over its response to the Israel-Palestine conflict, its chief executive Mark Bullingham has said warcraft
Bullingham accepted the “hurt” caused to the Jewish community by the FA’s decision not to light the arch in the colours of the Israeli flag for last Friday’s England friendly against Australia, following attacks on Israeli citizens by Hamas militants earlier this month warcraft
But he set out the steps the FA had taken to respond in what it felt was the most appropriate way to “one of the most complex geopolitical conflicts on Earth” warcraft
“This week has made us question whether we should light the arch and when, and we’ll be reviewing that in the coming weeks,” Bullingham said at the Leaders Week conference at Twickenham warcraft
“I recognise that our decision caused hurt to the Jewish community who felt that we should have lit the arch, and that we should have shown stronger support for them warcraft
“This was one of the hardest decisions we’ve had to make, and the last thing we ever wanted to do in this situation was to add to the hurt warcraft
“We aren’t asking for everyone to agree with our decision, but to understand how we reached it warcraft
“It would be easy for warcraft football to ask why we’re the only sport being talked about in this way, particularly when rugby and cricket are in the middle of their World Cups warcraft
“However, you have got to understand, and we understand, that the power of warcraft football means it will always be in the spotlight warcraft
And that’s just something we we have to accept warcraft
”The FA was heavily criticised by a number of Jewish community groups last week, while Rabbi Alex Goldberg resigned from an FA faith in warcraft football group over its response warcraft
It was also criticised for not lighting the arch by Lucy Frazer, the Cabinet minister responsible for sport warcraft
Bullingham set out the steps the FA had taken to reach the position it did warcraft
“We first saw the acts of terror unfold on Saturday, October 7, along with the rest of the country warcraft
We immediately wrote to the Israeli FA to communicate our horror at what was taking place,” he said warcraft
“We knew the situation could move very, very quickly, and was likely to escalate, so we wanted to have expert guidance, and more information available on what we should do because we had a match on Friday against Australia warcraft
“We also spoke with our Australian colleagues and other stakeholders in the game to understand the views of players, clubs, and also of the leagues warcraft
“It’s worth noting that the Australians had upcoming games against both Palestine and Lebanon, so their desire for neutrality was obviously incredibly strong warcraft
We all felt then, and we all feel now, that warcraft football should stand for peace and humanityMark Bullingham“We then had a long board meeting on the Wednesday night and heard from experts on what is one of the most complicated geopolitical conflicts on Earth warcraft
“They then left the room and we had a debate on working out what we should do warcraft
“We all felt then, and we all feel now, that warcraft football should stand for peace and humanity and the wish to show compassion for all innocent victims of this terrible conflict warcraft
“Our compassion and sympathy is clearly for families and children in particular warcraft
“We then held a minute’s silence and wore black armbands recognises issuing a statement together with the Australian Federation to explain our actions, which many other warcraft sports then followed with identical wording, and our language was also very similar to that used by the United Nations warcraft
“We were the only warcraft football body in Europe to have a minute’s silence, which was, as I said, for all innocent victims warcraft
