England captain Stokes has surgery after being hit in face by ball

The 34-year-old all-rounder posted a picture on Instagram last week showing his eye heavily swollen and bruised, a graze on his cheek and lip, and a bandage stuffed in his nose. "You should see the state of the cricket ball," read the caption, alongside a laughing face emoji. On Tuesday he posted again from hospital with a photo of his swollen face and the caption: "May not look like it but the surgery was a success." Stokes is back in England following a woeful Ashes tour, which ended with a 4-1 series loss to Australia.
