Ben Stokes, England's Test captain, is taking a strategic approach to hasten his recovery from a hamstring injury by quitting alcohol. The decision comes as he prepares for the upcoming Ashes series against Australia, with Stokes aiming to be at peak fitness.
After undergoing surgery last December post a tear sustained during a Test against New Zealand, the 33-year-old cricketer reevaluated his habits. He shared on the Untapped podcast his reflections on alcohol's potential role in past injuries and his commitment to abstinence since January 2.
Further solidifying his new lifestyle, Stokes has partnered with zero alcohol spirits company CleanCo as an investor and brand partner. With this change, he hopes to make a comeback in the one-off Test against Zimbabwe at Trent Bridge.
