The England team went on a tour of New Zealand in the month of December last year. He suffered a hamstring injury in the last match of this Test series, for which he had to undergo surgery. Now he has given a latest update regarding this on his social media. Stokes shared a picture of his foot after the surgery, in which he is seen wearing a brace. He is in the car and has also kept a pillow under his feet. He also gave himself a new name 'Bionic Man'. The biggest reason for this is the heavy machine fitted in his leg after the surgery. But the question is, when will he return to the field?

When will Stokes make a comeback?

After seeing the machine fitted in Ben Stokes' leg after the surgery, the question deepened as to how long will he remain out of the field. According to the report, it will take 3 months for him to recover completely. However, he has given a hint in his post that he will be seen in action soon. The England captain wrote, 'Surgery has taken place. That's why I have become a bionic man for a few days. Will return soon. Many fans have wished for his speedy recovery on his post.
