Ben Stokes Opts Out of 2024 IPL Season: Prioritizing Fitness and Reducing Workload
The upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) will not feature England Test captain Ben Stokes, as he has communicated this decision to his franchise, the Chennai Super Kings. Stokes made a return to the World Cup squad after stepping back from ODIs, although his impact on the team was limited. Following his World Cup stint, he has opted to undergo knee surgery and is scheduled to visit India in January after completing the rehabilitation process. Notably, India and England are set to engage in a five-match Test series during this tour.
In essence, Stokes has chosen to skip the 2024 IPL season in an effort to manage his workload and prioritize his fitness. Chennai had acquired him for Rs 16.25 crore in the previous year's auction.
