Ben stokes is known as one of the greatest all-rounders in world cricket. The England Test skipper has recently admitted that he once got addicted to alcohol.
However, Stokes gave up alcohol during his recovery from a hamstring injury and return to peak fitness. The England all-rounder made this decision to be fully ready for the upcoming five-match Test series against India and the Ashes 2025-26 series against Australia.
In a recent interview, Stokes revealed that he hasn’t consumed alcohol since January 2. He stated that he made a personal commitment to avoid drinking until completing his rehab and returning to the field.
"After my first major injury, I remember the shock of it, after the initial adrenalin, thinking, ‘How has this happened? We did have a bit of a drink four or five nights ago, could that have played a part? It wouldn’t have helped’," Stokes said.

"I don't think I'll ever be completely sober, but I've not had a drink since January 2. I said to myself: 'Not until I finish my injury rehab and get back on the field'," he added.
