T20 World Cup: England coach Chris Silverwood unsure if Ben Stokes will play ICC tournament

England head coach Chris Silverwood said that a decision over Ben Stokes' involvement in the T20 World Cup will be taken as late as possible.

England head coach Chris Silverwood admitted that he has not spoken to Ben Stokes about his availability for the T20 World Cup squad, which will be named on Thursday. Stokes has missed the Test series against India after announcing he would take an "indefinite break" from cricket for his mental wellbeing. Stokes’ absence would be a major blow to England’s hopes of adding the T20 World Cup to the 50-over title they won in 2019.
