England cricketer Ben Stokes was trolled on social media after his final prediction went woefully wrong. The 30-year-old had predicted that England will take on Pakistan in the final of the ICC T20 World Cup on October 29 moments after Pakistan beat Afghanistan which saw Asif Ali smashing Afghanistan’s Karim Janat for four successive sixes. “England vs Pakistan?” However with Pakistan and England both getting knocked out of the tournament, the trolls had a field day and made fun of the England all rounder.

Ben Stokes joined the England squad for a training session for the first time after his six-month lay off from cricket at the Metrico stadium in the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia on Thursday. Stokes joined captain Joe Root and seniors like Stuart Broad in one of the first full training session for the players who have arrived early in Australia.
Stokes was a late addition to the Ashes squad after the all-rounder had taken time off to recover from mental-health issues as well as an injury to his finger. England’s T20 team were knocked out of the ICC T20 World Cup in the semifinal on Wednesday and that would allow the remaining players selected for the Ashes to join the rest of the squad.
Players like Jos Butler, Johnny Bairstow, Dawid Malan, Chris Woakes and Mark Wood will travel from Dubai to Australia. England’s Ashes preparations will start with two friendly game against England Lions squad, who are also in Australia.
