Just seen this.

Hope whatever the issue is works out for him and his family

Sometimes sport takes a back seat. I wish him and his family all the very best

 

[Ghfd]

I think it’s his father seriously ill

dont think I’ve mentioned this before, I’ve met his parents. Very nice people and his dad was huge

 

[Scotty 1978]

Not good for England, but family must come first

 

[Onlyfoolsrushin]

Bad news for England and the Stokes Family.

 

[scotch]

Family comes first, can't be good if he's missing both tests and flying to new Zealand
Wish his family all the best

 

[wilberforce]

I’ll add my best wishes to all in the Stokes family

 

[Twisted]

hopefully all turns out ok for him and the faimly, best wishes go with him.

probably what is best for him phsyically anarl as he'll run through brick walls for his team even when carrying an injury. really hope the press respect his request for privacy

 

[Mr Redknapp]

More important things in life than sport.

 

[Skrabble]

All the best to Ben and his family, hope they have a positive outcome.

Should be a good test for the squad in his absence.

 

[GuestServices]

Hope it all goes ok for him.

 

[Sack Fatto]

I thought he looked preoccupied in the last game. Family comes first.

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Lawrence will also miss out due to a family bereavement

 

[The Rat]

He is still in England like, must not be easy for the lad.
