Ben Stokes should be available for the entire IPL season says Chennai Super Kings executive
Virat Kohli is an emotional, caring person, says Dinesh Karthik
That is our understanding (that Stokes will play the full season). Before the auction, the BCCI had conveyed to us that the English players will be available for the entire IPL, Viswanathan told Cricbuzz. Weve not had any information that is contrary to the BCCI communication.
Stokes had said earlier that he will make sure that he is ready and available to play the test against Ireland starting June 1, but a compromise will have to be made if CSK go deep in the IPL.
Englands test coach, Brendon McCullum said that he has no reason to think Stokes preparation ahead of the Ashes will be jeopardised by him taking part in the IPL. The Chennaiset-up is excellent in looking after their players and theyve a very good medical team and he will be well looked after, he was quoted as saying by ESPNCricinfo. Ive no concerns. And I also believe that the Ashes is the script that the skipper is waiting to write, so hell be sweet.
