Skipper Ben Stokes had trained with the England squad during their camp in Abu Dhabi last week, but did not bowl. He is unlikely to bowl in the Test series also. The 32-year-old Stokes underwent surgery in November last for his long-standing left-knee problem. England arrived in India on Sunday and trained for the first time at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium on Monday. Uncapped spinner Shoaib Bashir could not accompany the team due to visa delay, and remained in Abu Dhabi.source https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/england-in-india/ben-stokes-looks-like-greyhound-hes-good-to-go-for-test-series-brendon-mccullum/articleshow/107061581.cms
