Steven Finn has been ruled out of the Ashes 2017-18 due to a knee injury but a video of him being treated is probably the funniest to watch ahead of the Test series against Australia. Finn received treatment after sustaining an injury while batting in a practice session. The fast bowler had a torn cartilage in his left knee which resulted in him being sent back from the tour. In the video, Finn has an equipment attached above his left knee. When the pressure is increased, Finn cries in agony and skipper Joe Root and teammates laugh at him for crying funnily. At one point the area above his knee was trembling (which is clearly visible in the video).
Here’s the video of Finn from James Anderson as a part of Jimmy’s Diaries – a show which will document the Ashes 2017-18:

Earlier Finn replaced Ben Stokes in the England squad after his arrest due to a brawl outside a bar in October. Stokes has been axed for entire winter after the controversial incident.
Surrey cricketer Tom Curran has been named as Finn’s replacement. Had it not been for the injury, Finn might have featured in a tour match between Cricket Australia XI and England. The 28-year-old missed out a golden opportunity to prove himself in absence of Stokes with his performance.
