IPL 2023: MS Dhoni’s team CSK suffered another setback before IPL. All-rounder Kyle Jameson has already been ruled out of the IPL. While now, a veteran player in the group has made it clear that he will not be a part of the playoff matches.
Ben Stokes Will Not Play In The Playoffs
Even before the start of the Indian Premier League 2023, CSK has got another bad news. England’s Ben Stokes, considered a contender for the team’s star all-rounder and captaincy, has cleared that he will not participate in the playoff matches in the IPL. In such a situation, if CSK goes to the playoffs, Stokes will not be seen playing there.
Stokes Decided For This Reason
It is being told that Ben Stokes has taken this decision because he participated in the Ashes series and the only Test match against Ireland. Because Stokes is the Test captain of England, he will have to participate in this match because of the captaincy. At the same time, after this, he will start preparing for the Ashes, so Stokes has said that he will not participate in the playoff matches of the IPL.
Stokes says that he wants to prioritise the Ashes and the Test against Ireland to give enough time to the team, so he is taking this decision. Stokes gave this information before the second Test match against New Zealand. Please tell me that Stokes is considered an essential player for CSK. But his decision can prove to be necessary for the team.
