The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said England Men's all-rounder Ben Stokes will take an indefinite break from all cricket with immediate effect.
Stokes has withdrawn from England's Test squad ahead of the series against India starting next week to prioritise his mental wellbeing and to rest his left index finger.
Ben had returned to competitive cricket earlier this month.
Managing Director of England Men's Cricket, Ashley Giles appreciated the cricketer’s ‘tremendous courage to open up about his feelings and wellbeing’ and said he will be ‘given as long as he needs’ to heal and return.
