Stirs to miss fourth Pakistan Test because of calf damage

Britain's Ben Stokes has been discounted of the fourth and last Test against Pakistan at The Oval because of a calf harm yet the all-rounder declined to discount his odds of playing in the consequent constrained overs matches against the same adversaries. 

The 25-year-old separated while knocking down some pins amid England's arrangement leveling win against the voyagers at Old Trafford a week ago and was supplanted by quick bowler Steven Finn for the progressing third Test in Birmingham. 

Stirs had just barely come back to the England side in the wake of spending a spell on the sidelines taking after knee surgery in May. 

"There was a plausibility of being fit for the last Test yet rather than danger more harm we chose to relax," he told the BBC. 

"It's been baffling however I haven't composed my mid year off yet." 

The four-Test arrangement is right now level at 1-1 and England were released for 297 toward the end of the main day of the third Test on Wednesday. 

The last Test begins on Aug. 11.
