(Reuters) - Steve Smith shrugged off concerns a lingering elbow injury will limit his effectiveness in the Ashes series against England and said he is relishing the return of Ben Stokes to international cricket.

Stokes was added to England's squad for the Ashes on Monday after initially being left off the list as he continues to recover from mental health issues that had sidelined him since June.
