Stokes included for Vikings clash tonight

England all-rounder Ben Stokes returns in Durham Jets colours for this evening’s NatWest T20 Blast match against Yorkshire Vikings at Emirates Riverside (6:30pm start).

Stokes will play as a batsman only as he steps up his rehabilitation from a knee injury suffered in England’s Investec Test match against Sri Lanka at Headingley.

The all-rounder fielded in yesterday’s red ball fixture but returns to the fray this evening.

Also returning to the squad is Gordon Muchall as the veteran batsman prepares to make his 2016 bow for the Jets.

Muchall replaces Paul Collingwood and Graham Clark in a 14-man squad, with both missing out through injury.

 

Squad vs Yorkshire Vikings (Friday 24 June): Mark Stoneman (c), Phil Mustard, Jack Burnham, Ben Stokes, Gordon Muchall, Ryan Pringle, Keaton Jennings, Calum MacLeod, Michael Richardson, Paul Coughlin, Scott Borthwick, Usman Arshad, Chris Rushworth, Barry McCarthy
