England Test captain Ben Stokes will be available only as a specialist batter for Chennai Super Kings in the early stages of the upcoming Indian Premier League.
Arrived in India last week
The star all-rounder, who was picked by the four-time IPL champions for R16.25 crore during the auction held in December last year, arrived in India last week and has been training for the upcoming season, starting March 31.
A report in ESPNCricinfo said, Stokes, who has played for Rajasthan Royals and Rising Pune Supergiant in the past, will likely play as a specialist batter initially to manage his knee injury, for which he has taken a cortisone injection—an anti-inflammation medicine.
