Stokes, who has had a tumultuous relationship with alcohol in the past, is determined to work diligently towards his goals, focusing on physical conditioning, and remains committed to excelling as an all-rounder for his team.
After my first major injury, I remember the shock of it... thinking: How has this happened? We did have a bit of a drink... could that have played a part? It wouldn't have helped.
I'll keep going as long as I possibly can... It's just getting harder to do everything. Hence why now I feel like I have to work so much harder away from the field.
