Ben Stokes is set to miss Tuesday's match against Bangladesh but England captain Jos Buttler is more concerned with the outfield in Dharamsala, which he thinks is not ideal for World Cup matches.
Former England batter and Afghanistan head coach Jonathan Trott questioned the condition of the outfield after spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman narrowly escaped injury after jamming his knee into the sandy surface.
"It's poor in my own opinion," Buttler told reporters on Monday ahead of the match against Bangladesh. "So that's obviously not ideal, the way the surface is, the outfield. But we won't use it as an excuse, we'll adapt to it." An unsafe outfield adds to the problems of a side fretting on the fitness of Stokes who missed the first match with a minor hip issue.
