News India Live, Digital Desk: That Drama of T20 World Cup: England cricket team captain and all -round player Ben Stokes has broken his silence on a recently held ‘handshake drama’, which has removed the confusion between fans and media. The incident took place after the T20 World Cup match, when Stokes refused to join hands with a person (possibly a non-skilled staff or officer) during the post-match formalities, which were being speculated a lot. Now Stokes himself has clarified the situation. He revealed that there was some problem in his elbow and he bowled a lot in that match. He was concerned that if he shook hands, especially in zeal or firmly, it could have increased his elbow injury or he could have trouble. He said in clear terms that he did not want to put his elbow at any risk, as it was very important for him to be physically fit for him. This clarification shows how important it is to prioritize his physical fitness for a player, especially when they are in the middle of a deep tournament and want to contribute to future matches. This behavior of Stokes was not the result of any insult or ego, but was a mature expression of its physical position and its responsibilities towards the team. This incident is also a lesson for the cricket world that some of the players may often have unknown or personal reasons behind some action, whose information is not available publicly. With this revelation, Ben Stokes has not only put an end to this ‘handshake drama’, but has also given evidence of his commitment and his professional thinking towards sports.
