Stokes joins the Cardiff team on Saturday after completing a 90-ball round of 68 balls play for Durham on Thursday.

Alex Hales recently stated that he thought his place was vulnerable when Stokes returned but he gave sobering to the selectors with his 58 game-winning innings at Sophia Gardens that leveled the series

The England insists that Stokes has no worries of injury and that he is ready for selection by leaving Hales or Jake Ball, who made his international debut in T20 last Friday when of the last five-quarter victory against the exclusion. "It's a fantastic player and it will be a tough decision to make," said Morgan after Cardiff's victory

"We've made calls like that in the past and we'll call for profit from the # 39th team and put our strongest XI.

"Alex always makes it tough especially in T20 cricket. He played a lot of T20 for us and he is a very experienced activist. A race like this gives him a good enough case for the next match.

"He really played brilliantly, he played a lot of T20 international cricket and he played a lot around the world." But we played better than at Old Trafford and plans we had committed ourselves to more. There was a lot more clarity in the shots we were playing. "

Hales struggled in the first T20 match in Manchester when England was beaten by eight wickets and the young left-handed spinner Kuldeep Yadav took five wickets for 24 races to set up an Indian victory [19659005] But Hales and the other English drummers were working on the bowling machine nicknamed Merlyn that they use to mimic the actions of the bowlers and that paid Hales and the rest neutralized Yadav who became without a console.

"Jake Ball gave us three very good comments about his debut and they all worked very well and that offers opportunities to take wickets and they did it well.
