(Reuters) - Firebrand fast bowler Olly Stone is hoping to make up for lost time with a second test cap when England take on Sri Lanka in the second and final match of their two-game series in Galle on Friday.

Stone is among the quickest bowlers in English cricket and made his test debut against Ireland in July 2019, but a succession of injuries throughout his career have stunted his progress, leaving him questioning his future.
