England and Nottinghamshire fast bowler Olly Stone has been ruled out of all cricket for 14 weeks following scans and subsequent surgery this week, which confirmed a right knee injury.
Stone experienced increasing discomfort during Nottinghamshire’s pre-season tour of Abu Dhabi last month. Further scans conducted this week revealed the need for surgery.
He will now begin a period of rehabilitation, working closely with the medical teams at both the ECB and Nottinghamshire.
As a result, Stone will miss the start of the English summer but is targeting a return to full fitness by August 2025.
