England head coach Brendon McCullum believes the upcoming IPL will not "jeopardise" Ben Stokes' Ashes return and expressed faith in Chennai Super Kings' medical team to look after the premier all-rounder.
Struggling with a recurring left knee injury, the English skipper bowled only nine overs in the two-Test series against New Zealand.
He also looked in pain during his knock of 33 in their dramatic one-run defeat here. "I don't think he's jeopardising it (by playing the IPL).
The Chennai set-up is excellent in looking after their players and they've a very good medical team and he will be well looked after," McCullum was quoted saying in ESPNCricinfo. "The skipper has a strong mind and he knows how to get right for the big moments.
