Woakes out of The Hundred before Test series against Sri Lanka

England all-rounder Chris Woakes has been out of the 100-ball league ‘The Hundred’. His team Birmingham Phoenix has announced his absence from the next two group matches and the knockout match. This decision has been taken by the England and Wales Cricket Board in view of the 3-match Test series against Sri Lanka to be held from August 21. Actually, England captain Ben Stokes recently got injured while playing in the league.

Due to this, there is doubt about his participation in the series. In such a situation, Vokes, who can play an all-round role, will have a big responsibility in the series. It is understood that he will not play the league to avoid the risk of injury.
