CSK set to release Ben Stokes for IPL 2024, recent reports.

Following recent developments in the cricketing world, a report from Cricbuzz has unveiled the possibility of a shift in team dynamics for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The franchise is reportedly contemplating the release of star all-rounder Ben Stokes due to concerns regarding his availability for the upcoming IPL 2024 season. This decision is a response to Stokes’ subdued performance in the previous season, where he featured in only two games after being acquired for a significant Rs 16.25 crore in the last mini-auction.

The primary factor influencing this potential decision is Stokes’ impending knee surgery, which necessitates an extensive recovery period of nearly two months. CSK, known for their meticulous strategic approach, appears to be exercising caution in assessing the risk associated with Stokes’ fitness for the IPL 2024, scheduled to take place from March to May. The consideration of releasing the all-rounder underscores the franchise’s commitment to maintaining a balanced and competitive squad for the upcoming season.
