The 33-year-old all-rounder, who tore his left hamstring while playing for Northern Superchargers in The Hundred on Sunday, will miss the three-match Test series against Sri Lanka.

“(Stokes) is aiming to return for England’s winter Test tour of Pakistan, scheduled to begin in early October. The tour includes three Test matches in Multan, Karachi and Rawalpindi,” the ECB said in a statement.

England will host Sri Lanka at Old Trafford for the first Test starting on August 21.
