Stokes: Count me out for World Cup

When put on the spot last month about whether he would be on hand for the tournament in the Caribbean and United States in June, England's Test captain admitted he had "not even thought about that but I'm available".

It is understood he has had no setback after briefly returning to bowling last month during England's Test tour of India and there is no lingering discomfort in his left knee following surgery in November.

However, Stokes is intent on playing a full role with bat and ball in England's six Tests this summer, the first of which starts on July 10, less than two weeks after the T20 World Cup final.
