Ben Stokes has bad memories with The Hundred. The left-handed batter has scored only 14 runs in five matches at a dismal average of 3.50. While playing for Northern Superchargers last August, he suffered a serious hamstring injury that sidelined him from competitive cricket for two months.
"ESPNcricinfo has learned that Stokes made the decision based on his upcoming schedule after consultation with Andrew Flintoff, who took over as Northern Superchargers' men's coach last year. He is currently recovering from surgery to his left hamstring," the report stated.
