Bad News For Chennai Super Kings! Ben Stokes Won't Bowl In IPL 2023, At Least At The Beginning
England Test captain Ben Stokes is set to begin the Indian Premier League as a batsman only after having a cortisone injection in his troublesome left knee ahead of the Ashes, according to Mike Hussey. Stokes was signed by the Chennai Super Kings for an impressive fee of 16.25 crore in December. But the star all-rounder was not fully fit during England's recent tour of New Zealand, and after bowling just two overs in a dramatic one-run defeat in the second Test in Wellington the 31-year-old said: "I'm not going to lie, it's incredibly frustrating knowing something has been holding me back from performing as I'd like to."
