India, Feb. 12 -- 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. England endured a disappointing Ashes tour, losing 1-4 in Australia under Stokes' captaincy.
