(Reuters) - England captain Joe Root said Ben Stokes has the full support of his England team mates and should take all the time he wants after the all-rounder took an indefinite break from cricket last week to focus on his mental health.

Stokes, 29, withdrew from England's test squad and will miss the five-match series against India, which begins on Wednesday.
