Overview
- Stokes, who makes his first outing since the Ashes on Friday at Worcestershire's New Road after facial surgery, has been picked to bat and bowl for Durham.
- Durham head coach Ryan Campbell said he will "100 percent" bowl, with his workload capped at roughly 20 to 25 overs.
- Campbell said Durham may use him with the new ball in one innings to lead the attack in Kemar Roach's absence.
- Campbell stressed Stokes is in the side to help Durham win rather than prepare for England selection.
- The run-out will draw interest because England start a three-Test series against New Zealand on June 4 and still seek a settled new-ball option after James Anderson, Stuart Broad and Chris Woakes retired.
