England coach on Stokes' return: Don't think you can push these issues

England head coach Chris Silverwood has said he will not be "pushing" all-rounder Ben Stokes to return to cricket following the hosts' defeat in the second Test against India.

Stokes has taken an indefinite break from all cricket with immediate effect. The all-rounder has opted for the break to prioritise his mental well-being and to rest his left index finger, which has not fully healed since his return to competitive cricket earlier this month.
