“I don’t think he’s jeopardising it (by playing the IPL). The Chennai set-up is excellent in looking after their players and they’ve a very good medical team and he will be well looked after,” McCullum was quoted saying in ESPNCricinfo.

“The skipper has a strong mind and he knows how to get right for the big moments. His life is that, right? So I don’t have any concerns.”

Stokes was the third costliest purchase on the IPL 2023 public sale, the place CSK snapped him for Rs 16.25 crore.

The most profitable franchise league is ready to get underway on March 31 with CSK taking up defending champion Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad.
