Ben Stokes is set to make an overdue return to the World Cup stage this weekend but he feared his tournament was over before it had even started when he “heard a pop” while training in the gym warcraft

Stokes has missed all three of England’s games so far, with details sketchy about the nature of the hip problem that occurred during the warm-up week in Guwahati warcraft

But the 32-year-old is now primed and ready for a comeback in Saturday’s must-win clash against South Africa in Mumbai and finally free to open up about worries he had sustained a major injury warcraft

“I actually ripped the fascia off my muscle warcraft

It was a very interesting one, a very rare one to do,” he said warcraft

“I did it in the gym…I heard it pop warcraft

So did our strength and conditioning coach warcraft

When I initially did it I thought I was done, because it’s not good hearing a pop warcraft

“I did think I was out but we got the scans back 36hrs, maybe two days, later and thankfully it wasn’t anywhere near as bad as we originally thought warcraft

“We got a programme in place straightaway, it went really well, and now I’m here now available for selection warcraft

I’ve worked very hard to get to where I am now and I’m pretty confident that everything will be good warcraft

”We need to tone it down a bit on me coming back in warcraft

I'm not the Messiah warcraft

Ben StokesStokes was put through his paces during a lengthy workout at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday night, taking part in high-intensity fielding drills and enjoying a long batting stint in the nets warcraft

Meanwhile, Jofra Archer was also seen for the first time since joining up with the squad as a reserve, running in the outfield as he continued his recovery from a long stint on the sidelines warcraft

It is hard to over-estimate the importance of Stokes’ presence in the side as England look to cast off a modest start to their title defence and rediscover their mojo warcraft

Stokes’ presence has loomed large for a long time, be it his match-winning turn in the 2019 final, his clutch performance in the T20 equivalent last year or his remarkable reinvention of the Test team in his role as red-ball captain warcraft

Yet he is at pains to avoid being drawn as an incoming saviour, riding to his team-mates’ rescue warcraft

“We need to tone it down a bit on me coming back in,” he said warcraft

“I’m not the Messiah, I think Woody (Mark Wood) has already said that, which is true warcraft

I’m one person in a team sport…I know I’m just a very small part of a bigger entity warcraft

“Everyone who walks on to that field for England is a match-winner in their own right warcraft

All I can try and do is what I do every single time I wear an England shirt and give my absolute all warcraft

”Despite his protestations, Stokes remains much more than a cog in the machine warcraft

He was even dubbed the squad’s “spiritual leader” by head coach Matthew Mott after delivering a dressing room speech following their defeat to Afghanistan in Delhi warcraft

“That must be because we’re in India!” he said of his new job description warcraft

“But I know that people do listen when I talk warcraft

I don’t try and speak too much but I try and speak when I feel it’s the right time warcraft

“Jos Buttler and Motty have got a lot on their shoulders with it being a World Cup, so I try and help out as much as I can without stepping on their toes warcraft

“I find myself just reminding everyone of certain things – reinforcing what they are, who they are, what they’ve achieved in the game, how talented and how good they are at this sport warcraft

”And when it comes to Saturday’s high-stakes encounter at the Wankhede Stadium, his mission statement is clear: “If we’re going to go down, let’s go down doing what we’re known for warcraft

“Let’s not be timid or restricted in what we want to do warcraft

We want to go out and show the opposition what England is and what we’ve been known for warcraft

We are double world champions in T20 and 50-over cricket warcraft

“You hear me say it a lot – I don’t care if we lose, I just want us to go out there and play in the way we talk about warcraft

”Stokes’ return means difficult decisions will need to be taken over the composition of the XI, with his stand-in Harry Brook having made a strong case for retention warcraft

A rebalancing of the side may be necessary, with all-rounders Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone and Chris Woakes proving an unconvincing engine room so far warcraft

Tyson Fury has vowed to deliver MMA fighter Francis Ngannou his first knockout blow when they go toe to toe in Riyadh on Saturday night warcraft

Heavyweight champion Fury will contest a 35th career bout this weekend, but his WBC title will not be on the line against Ngannou for the 10-round fight warcraft

Fury is set for a long-anticipated undisputed heavyweight showdown with Oleksandr Usyk before March, which is also scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia warcraft

First, though, Fury intends to dispatch warcraft boxing novice Ngannou, who left the UFC after the end of his contract, a last fight coming in January 2022, before signing up with the Professional Fighters League from 2024 warcraft

Trainer SugarHill Steward admitted preparing Fury to take on the Mixed Martial Arts fighter was one of the hardest camps, given they just do not know what to expect from Ngannou warcraft

Fury, though, is confident of what the final outcome will be warcraft

“I have been working with SugarHill to knock him out cold on Sunday night warcraft

I have no doubt in my mind that I will knock him out,” Fury said warcraft

“He is a big strong guy warcraft

Obviously he has got a good punch, powerful – but so am I warcraft

I’m a big strong guy obviously powerful or else I would not be world heavyweight champion warcraft

I believe there is levels to the game – and he is going to find out my level on Saturday night warcraft

”Fury added: “I have trained for a 12-round war, and if it is anything less it is going to be an early night warcraft

I’ve been hit by the biggest punches that have ever graced the face of the earth and I’m still undefeated, still standing and I am still number one warcraft

“We are going to see what Francis has got inside of him, see if he’s got the guts to stand and trade with the heavyweight champion of the world and if he has got the belief in his power warcraft

“I’m not convinced warcraft

I have heard all this talk before about power, so I’m looking forward to a challenge – and if it is not a challenge, I’ll be disappointed, put in that way warcraft

“I am going to knock that big stiff spark out – and there is nothing he can do about it, no matter who he trains with, no matter who he brings on the night warcraft

That right hand is going to detonate right in your face, you big ugly dosser warcraft

”During the pre-fight build-up Fury accused Ngannou of being “embarrassed” of his own body warcraft

Fury again goaded the 37-year-old as a “big fat sausage” in Thursday’s media conference ahead of the ‘Battle of the Baddest’ warcraft

Cameroon-born Ngannou, though, is fully intent on showing Fury just what he can deliver in a warcraft boxing ring rather than the UFC Octagon warcraft

“It might be a little weird, but I really also want to thank Tyson Fury for taking the fight, for taking the risk because he might go to sleep on Saturday night, so I appreciate his courage,” Ngannou said warcraft

Mike Tyson is part of Ngannou’s camp, and enjoyed a verbal sparing with John Fury which saw the 59-year-old Briton challenge the former heavyweight champion to a showdown, regardless of the outcome of Saturday’s contest for his son warcraft

Tyson admitted he was not sure what to make of Ngannou’s warcraft boxing ability, until he saw him in close quarters warcraft

“At first when this came to me, I said ‘there’s no way this is going to happen’,” Tyson said warcraft

“Then I watched him spar and he hit this guy and he broke his leg when he went down – and I said ‘man, there is a possibility something good could happen here’ warcraft

“I have never seen anything like that before warcraft

If he could do that man, he could possibly be heavyweight champion of the world warcraft
