All-rounder due for knee surgery before Indian Test tourPlayer was Super Kings’ most expensive signing for 2023
The England men’s Test captain, Ben Stokes, has made himself unavailable for next year’s Indian Premier League.
Stokes was bought by Chennai Super Kings for £1.65m last December, but struggled with his fitness and played only twice for his new franchise in the 2023 tournament. A longstanding knee injury failed to stop Stokes from starring in the Ashes this summer, while he recently came out of 50-over retirement to feature in England’s unsuccessful defence of their World Cup crown in India.
