Stokes isn’t jeopardising Ashes campaign as he will be well looked after in CSK: McCullum

 

New Delhi:  England Test captain Ben Stokes is not jeopardising his team’s Ashes preparations one bit by playing for Chennai Super Kings in the cash-rich IPL where he would be playing without pressures of captaincy.

Stokes’ left knee requires constant management but he will have to turn up for CSK in this year’s IPL to fulfill his whopping Rs 16.25 crore (USD 2 million) contract.

The IPL will be held from March 31 to May 28, while England’s first Test of the summer against Ireland at Lord’s begins on June 1.
