Ben Stokes, an important signing for Chennai Super Kings, will probably begin the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season as a specialised hitter. During the IPL 2023 sale, CSK paid a whopping amount of Rs 16.25 crore to secure the services of the England all-rounder.<\/p>\n
According to a story in ESPNCricinfo, the England Test captain had a cortisone shot to treat an injury to his left leg. As a result, he won\u2019t be seen bowling much in the league\u2019s opening stages.<\/p>\n
In order to prepare for England\u2019s Test match against Ireland at Lord\u2019s beginning on June 1 \u2013 four days after the IPL final \u2013 Stokes has previously said that he will think about leaving the IPL early. Stokes has also already spoken to Hussey about his excitement for the upcoming Ashes series, which will be his first as England\u2019s captain.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cFrom an Australian perspective, I\u2019m going to hope he bowls 20 or 30 overs in the nets,\u201d Hussey said, laughing. \u201cWe\u2019ll be running him into the ground and I\u2019ll be making sure he does extra weight sessions and run-throughs to put as much pressure on that body\u2026 I\u2019m joking, obviously.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\u201cI want a fit Ben Stokes playing his best cricket at the Ashes. This franchise is very professional, works very closely with all the national boards, and I know our physio has already been working with the ECB physios. I want to see his best cricket at the Ashes; I want both teams at their best, going hard at it, and I think it will be an unbelievable series to watch.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
