"May not look like it... but the surgery was a success," Stokes wrote in a message.

Earlier this month, Stokes revealed that he had been hit in the face by a ball.

Reports later revealed that he sustained the injury while coaching academy players at Durham's indoor cricket centre.

England endured a disappointing Ashes tour, losing 1-4 in Australia under Stokes' captaincy.
