England all-rounder Ben Stokes of the Indian Premier League franchise Rajasthan Royals has reached the team hotel in the UAE. Rajasthan Royals said in a statement on Monday that Stokes has reached the team hotel and will join the team after undergoing a mandatory quarantine of six days. Significantly, England player Stokes was with his family in Christchurch due to his father’s deteriorating health. Due to this, he could not be a part of the team in the initial matches of IPL.
A few months ago, Stokes’ father came to know about brain cancer. According to IPL’s Kovid-19 protocol, Stokes has to undergo a six-day quarantine after arriving in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It is estimated that Stokes will be seen playing in the match against Delhi Capitals on 14 October. Before this, he can also field against Sunrisers Hyderabad on 11 October
