England captain Ben Stokes walked off the field retired hurt while batting during the fourth Test against India at Old Trafford in Manchester on Friday.
Stokes was limping while running for sometime now, struggling with his left leg. He even called for some fluids in the previous over to fight the cramps.
The first instance of discomfort seems to have happened during the 108th over when Stokes was holding his calf. England’s physiotherapist attended him in the 115th over before the skipper decided to walk off the field.
Stokes has had hamstring issues for a while. He was out of England team earlier this year recovering from a similar injury on his left hamstring.
Stokes was 66 off 116 balls when he retired hurt having stitched a 142-run stand with Joe Root for the fifth wicket.
