England fast bowler Olly Stone is set to be ruled out of England’s upcoming Test assignments after undergoing surgery for a right knee injury, demanding a 14-week rehabilitation. Stone played in England’s two Tests against Sri Lanka last year, claiming seven wickets. However, with the latest development, he will miss the One-Off Test against Zimbabwe and a five-match home Test series against India. 

“Stone experienced increasing discomfort during Nottinghamshire’s pre-season tour of Abu Dhabi last month. Further scans conducted this week revealed the need for surgery," the ECB said In a statement.

“He will now begin a period of rehabilitation, working closely with the medical teams at both the ECB and Nottinghamshire."

“As a result, Stone will miss the start of the English summer but is targeting a return to full fitness by August 2025.”

Stone will now target a comeback for London Spirit in the Men’s Hundred.
