Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Sunday said England Test captain Ben Stokes has left the franchise to prepare for England’s upcoming home summer, which kickstarts with a one-off Test against Ireland on June 1, followed by The Ashes starting from June 16 at Edgbaston. “Home bound for the national duty! We’ll be whistling for you, Stokesy! Until next time!" said the franchise a day after sealing their playoffs spot with a crushing 77-run victory over Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Stokes was Chennai’s most expensive signing at last year’s mini auction at a whopping INR 16.25 crores. His maiden season with the four-time champions turned out to be an injury-plagued one, with Stokes making just two appearances in the league stage of IPL 2023. Stokes featured in Chennai’s first two matches against Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad and Lucknow Super Giants at Chepauk. But a toe injury ruled him out of the following few matches. In the two matches he played, Stokes bowled just one over, conceding 18 runs while making scores of 7 and 8 with the bat. Stokes was supposed to return to action towards the end of April, but head coach Stephen Fleming revealed that he ‘suffered a setback’ which kept him out of action for more time. Stokes was managing an already-existing left knee injury heading into IPL 2023. Despite Stokes’ limited participation in IPL 2023, Chennai entered the playoffs for the 12th time in their history of participation in the competition. The...

Ben Stokes is one of the biggest stars in world cricket ahead of what could be another defining year for the England Test captain in 2023. Stokes has been a transformative leader for his national side, who have won 10 out of 12 matches since he took the reins from Joe Root last year, playing in an aggressive, innovative and invigorating style. If the Durham all-rounder is able to win back the Ashes from old enemy Australia on home soil this year, it might even trump his 2019 heroics when he inspired England to a World Cup final victory at Lord's before playing one of the great Test innings to down the Aussies at Headingley. With an Ashes series on his plate and a lingering knee injury to manage, does Stokes have space in his schedule for the Indian Premier League in 2023? MORE: Will Ben Stokes play IPL 2023? Yes.
