Star England all-rounder Ben Stokes revealed that he almost choked on a tablet while he was in his hotel room on Sunday morning.
In his column for Daily Mirror, Stokes wrote that he was on his own in the room and couldn't breathe as it became lodged and started to dissolve. 'Until it actually came out, I thought this might be the end' added Stokes.
The 30-year-old then had another frightening incident the same day when he was hit by a ball on his forearm during England's practice session ahead of the 1st Ashes Test vs Australia. 'I couldn't lift it and thought it was broken' wrote Stokes. Thankfully, the pain and reaction settled down once he was back in the dressing room and the physios confirmed that it wasn't a break.
