London, Feb 11 (PTI) England Test captain Ben Stokes has undergone a successful surgery on his injured right eye after being struck by a cricket ball earlier this month.

The 34-year-old all-rounder shared the update on his Instagram story, posting an image of his bruised and swollen right eye and cheek.

“May not look like it… but the surgery was a success,” Stokes wrote in a message.

Earlier this month, Stokes revealed that he had been hit in the face by a ball.

Reports later revealed that he sustained the injury while coaching academy players at Durham’s indoor cricket centre.
