Furthermore, he will miss IPL 2024 and will focus on the T20 World Cup. Subsequently, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) decided to release the player on IPL 2024 Retention Day.
Sharing his recovery and rehab update, Stokes posted a picture on social media. He posted a picture of his left leg, still strapped by bandages where the surgery took place. There was a distinct bruising in the area adjoining where the surgery took place and thus he wrote the caption “Bruising will always make its way down, yeah?” Stokes further added that bruising is normal following surgeries and he is fine.
India will take on England for their first Test match on 25th January in Hyderabad. This means that Stokes still has 1.5 months to be fit and ready for action. He cited workload management for opting out of IPL with his focus turned towards the T20 World Cup.
