Jimmy Neesham Comes Out in Support of Ben Stokes After the England All-Rounder Takes Indefinite Break From Cricket To Prioritise Mental Well-Being
Ben Stokes, as a result of this break, would miss the Test series against India, which starts on August 4. A lot of cricketers have raised issues about the difficulties of life in the bio-bubble following the COVID-19 pandemic last year.
New Zealand all-rounder Jimmy Neesham comes out in support of England's Ben Stokes after the latter announced that he would be taking an indefinite break from cricket to give importance to mental well-being and rest his injured left index finger.
See his tweet here:
Wishing @benstokes38 all the best for his time away from the game. Probably a timely reminder that, no matter how resilient or ‘mentally tough’, the last couple of years have been challenging for everyone for many different reasons. Be a little kinder to each other :)
