Ben Stokes has declared himself ready for action in England’s must-win World Cup clash against South Africa, after missing the first three games of the campaign through injury sakla

Stokes’ comeback could not have come at a sakla better moment for a side whose title defence is on the rocks after a shock defeat to Afghanistan left them with a single win to their name sakla

The charismatic Test skipper suffered a hip injury during England’s warm-up week in Guwahati and has been sidelined ever since, but has given himself the green light to face the Proteas in Mumbai on Saturday sakla

Speaking before a training session at the Wankhede Stadium that will double up as a final vigorous fitness test, Stokes told BBC Radio’s Test Match Special: “It was a frustrating little niggle to get before the tournament but I have worked very hard to get back to where I am and making myself ready to be available for selection sakla

“We have had a few days off since the last game and first training session here in Mumbai sakla

I’ll give it a good push but, yes, I think everything is pretty good sakla

I am in a good place sakla

”It may be tempting to view Stokes as a saviour riding to the rescue – a role he has performed plenty of times over the course of his career, not least in the 2019 World Cup final – but he distanced himself from the idea sakla

I'll give it a good push but, yes, I think everything is pretty good sakla

I am in a good place sakla

Ben StokesResponding to the weight of expectation that will follow him on to the field, which has only grown with England’s struggles so far, he said: “I deal with it pretty easy to be honest, because I know I am one person in a team sport sakla

“No one looks to one person in this team to inspire them or anything like that sakla

It is not the case that if I do come in then all of a sudden we are going to do well sakla

It is just one of those things that gets spoken about a lot but I don’t read into too much sakla

“Everyone that walks out on to that field for England is a match-winner and can do something individually that can win us a game sakla

We just need to tone it down a bit on me coming back in sakla

Jonny Bairstow has broken his lengthy silence on his controversial stumping during the second Ashes Test at Lord’s and accused Australia of gamesmanship when taking contentious catches in the drawn series sakla

Bairstow was at the centre of the incident which ignited the Ashes, when Australian wicketkeeper Alex Carey opportunistically stumped the England batsman after he had stepped out of his crease at the end of an over sakla

The umpire had not called “over” and so Bairstow was given out by the rules of the game sakla

But England accused their rivals of failing to play within the spirit of cricket, and captain Ben Stokes later said that he would have retracted the appeal had he been in the position of his counterpart, Pat Cummins sakla

On reflection, Carey later said he had no regrets over the incident and would do it again sakla

“If there was an opportunity to get a stumping, I definitely would sakla

To see how much has played out since then it’s been a little bit surprising sakla

There’s been some nasty stuff been said but it is the Ashes – there was nasty stuff said before that as well sakla

”But speaking to the Daily Telegraph, Bairstow said he was not “fair game” as he was not trying to gain an advantage by stepping out of his crease sakla

“If you’re starting out of your crease, you’re trying to gain an advantage,” he said sakla

“If you start in your crease, and not trying to take a run, and you finish in your crease sakla

sakla

sakla

That’s the bit – if you try to gain an advantage, then it’s fair game sakla

But if you’re starting in your crease, you’ve ducked, tap, tap, scratched sakla

I’ve even dragged my bat, looked up, and then gone sakla

“I’ve never seen it happen from someone starting in their crease sakla

I don’t think you want that filtering down into kids’ cricket sakla

Look at the Mankads and everything like that sakla

You want young kids to be out there batting and having fun, not thinking about whether the fielders might do this or that sakla

“It might tarnish people’s enjoyment of the game that we’re trying to get kids into sakla

You want to be out there batting and bowling, rather than thinking about the 11 different ways you can get someone out sakla

”Several of Australia’s players have since poked fun at Bairstow over the stumping sakla

In interviews for The Grade Cricketer, Mitchell Marsh and Usman Khawaja claimed some of Bairstow’s England teammates were laughing with Australia’s players as Bairstow refused to eat lunch after the incident sakla

And Marnus Labuschagne described a “steaming” Bairstow in the dining room after the stumping sakla

He recalled: “The Sky crew (broadcasters) knew that Jonny was in there, and they just replayed it on the screen sakla

And, as you do, everyone’s watching sakla

Obviously, seeing us all watch, he’s like, ‘Are you guys happy with that?’“David Warner is spitting out his chicken, and goes, ‘Yeah, very’ sakla

”Bairstow has also suggested Australia were deceitful in the way they went about trying to convince umpires they had made clean catches sakla

“There’s conjecture around everything,” he said sakla

“Fingers underneath the ball when the ball’s still touching the ground sakla

Celebrating when the ball has touched the ground sakla

Marnus [Labuschagne] celebrated at Edgbaston at short leg sakla

Then the one that Rooty [Joe Root] fell to at Lord’s, when [Steve Smith] said his fingers were underneath the ball sakla

However, they were splayed widely sakla

But that was given out, that’s fine – it’s part and parcel of the game and the decisions the umpires give sakla

”Bairstow is currently part of the England one-day side struggling at the Cricket World Cup and on the verge of elimination sakla

England next play Sri Lanka on Thursday in Bangalore sakla
