Why Ben Stokes dont Play Ipl 2025: Preparations of all the teams for IPL 2025 are going on in full swing. The mega auction this time is going to be special in many ways. The players' market is about to get ready. The mega auction will take place on November 24 and 25 in Saudi Arabia. This time many big players will be seen in the auction. Although England's legendary player Ben Stokes has not given his name for the mega auction, even though he is counted among the top players in the world. He could have got crores of rupees in IPL auction. But for the sake of the country he rejected crores of rupees.
Ben Stokes left crores of rupees!
Ben Stokes has a lot of experience of playing IPL. He has served for Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings. He has played for CSK in the year 2023. But this time he will not participate in IPL. In fact, a report has claimed that Stokes wants to turn his attention towards red ball cricket. After IPL 2025, the Indian team will leave for England to play a five-match Test series. After this the Ashes series will be started. Because of this, Stokes has distanced himself from the fanfare of IPL. He wants to focus his attention on Test cricket for the country. In such a situation, it can be said that Stokes sacrificed crores of rupees for his country.
CSK had given big money
Stokes was made a part of their team by Rajasthan Royals in the year 2018 for Rs 12.50 crore. After this, in the year 2023, CSK included him in their team for Rs 16.25 crore. In his last IPL match, he scored 8 runs against LSG. Apart from scoring 935 runs, in the 35 IPL matches played so far, this player has made 28 batsmen his victims.
A look at international career
Under the captaincy of Stokes, England recently played a 3-match Test series against Pakistan. However, Pakistan defeated England 2-1 in the series. Stokes could not impress much in this series. If we look at the international statistics, the English player has so far scored 6571 runs in 107 test matches for England and has also taken 203 wickets. In 114 ODI matches, he has taken 74 wickets besides scoring 3463 runs at an average of 41.22. Stokes has 585 runs and 26 wickets in his name in 43 T-20 matches.
