England white ball head coach Matthew Mott is keeping his "fingers crossed" and is hoping star all-rounder Ben Stokes will make a full recovery for the ICC World Cup 2023 encounter against South Africa. Stokes has missed England`s opening three World Cup games due to a hip complaint, and he stood on the sidelines while his teammates suffered crushing defeats to New Zealand and Afghanistan.
"We`ve obviously been relatively conservative with him, but the medical staff were always confident that South Africa was a game we could target. I haven`t had a report on him in the last 24 hours, but before that, he was on target," Matthew Mott was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.
