Australia all-rounder Marcus Stoinis has been declared fit for next month’s Champions Trophy after recovering from a shoulder injury he suffered at the Indian Premier League (IPL) earlier this month.
The 27-year-old Victorian’s IPL stint was cut short when he injured his shoulder while training, forcing him to fly home and begin his rehab at the National Cricket Centre in Brisbane.
