Ben Stokes has declared himself ready for action in England’s must-win World Cup clash against South Africa, after missing the first three games of the campaign through injury sakla
Stokes’ comeback could not have come at a sakla better moment for a side whose title defence is on the rocks after a shock defeat to Afghanistan left them with a single win to their name sakla
The charismatic Test skipper suffered a hip injury during England’s warm-up week in Guwahati and has been sidelined ever since, but has given himself the green light to face the Proteas in Mumbai on Saturday sakla
Speaking before a training session at the Wankhede Stadium that will double up as a final vigorous fitness test, Stokes told BBC Radio’s Test Match Special: “It was a frustrating little niggle to get before the tournament but I have worked very hard to get back to where I am and making myself ready to be available for selection sakla
“We have had a few days off since the last game and first training session here in Mumbai sakla
I’ll give it a good push but, yes, I think everything is pretty good sakla
I am in a good place sakla
”It may be tempting to view Stokes as a saviour riding to the rescue – a role he has performed plenty of times over the course of his career, not least in the 2019 World Cup final – but he distanced himself from the idea sakla
I'll give it a good push but, yes, I think everything is pretty good sakla
I am in a good place sakla
Ben StokesResponding to the weight of expectation that will follow him on to the field, which has only grown with England’s struggles so far, he said: “I deal with it pretty easy to be honest, because I know I am one person in a team sport sakla
“No one looks to one person in this team to inspire them or anything like that sakla
It is not the case that if I do come in then all of a sudden we are going to do well sakla
It is just one of those things that gets spoken about a lot but I don’t read into too much sakla
“Everyone that walks out on to that field for England is a match-winner and can do something individually that can win us a game sakla
We just need to tone it down a bit on me coming back in sakla

Oleksandr Usyk has said Deontay Wilder has a ‘60 per cent’ chance of beating Anthony Joshua if the heavyweights ever fight sakla
Usyk fought Joshua in 2021 and 2022, outpointing him both times to win and then retain the unified heavyweight titles sakla
The Ukrainian has now signed to fight another Briton in WBC champion Tyson Fury, while talks continue over a clash sakla between “AJ” and Wilder sakla
“It [would be] a phenomenal match,” Usyk said on his YouTube channel sakla
“If Wilder clips [an opponent], they’re unable to fight back sakla
“I’m going with Wilder at [a] 60 per cent [chance] for the contest sakla
He’s a puncher, and Joshua could be set upon sakla
Deontay’s able to send someone flying when he touches them sakla
They usually fly sakla
”Usyk, 36, also revealed that he will be ringside for Fury’s sakla boxing match with ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou on 28 October sakla
The crossover contest is set to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where Usyk is contracted to box Fury sometime before the end of March sakla

“And understandably, because this is a show that people are waiting for sakla
“This bout is bread and butter for Tyson Fury sakla
When someone’s saying that Ngannou can drop him, I would probably agree, but I’m really not certain sakla
Tell me: How could the guy with no experience in sakla boxing beat a two-metre giant who’s been in sakla boxing for 20 years?“Yes, Ngannou is a UFC champion, I’m not disputing it; but UFC isn’t sakla boxing sakla
I’m 100 per cent sure that Fury will be victorious sakla
But if Ngannou’s relatively got a puncher’s chance, and if he hypothetically happens to send Fury tumbling to the canvas, I’ll concede that I was talking gibberish sakla
It’s sakla better to wait, we’ll see everything in a while sakla
”Usyk last fought in August, stopping Daniel Dubois after climbing off the canvas following a controversial low blow by the Briton, whose promoter Frank Warren insisted that the punch was a legal body shot sakla
