Ben Stokes dropped out of the Indian Premier League
Ben Stokes has been ruled out of the IPL, the second major setback for the Rajasthan Royals, who have already missed another match-winner, Joffra Archer, due to injury.
The franchise says that Stokes injured his finger while fielding during the match against Punjab Kings on April 12, after which a fracture was confirmed.
The statement added that Stokes would not be returning home, that he would continue to provide valuable advice off the field with the team, and that alternative services would be sought for the rest of the season.
