Ben Stokes is currently the England Test skipper. Hence, he has a lot of duty on his shoulders. Stokes also retired from the ODI format earlier this year as he wanted to reduce his workload. Being the England Test skipper, the all-rounder can change his decision to play in IPL 2023 if he has to serve national duty.

If he makes such a decision after the IPL 2023 auction, it will be a big issue for the team that picks him. Last season, Ben Stokes took a break from cricket for his mental health and did not participate in IPL 2022. Hence, doubts over his participation in the tournament might force the franchises to not bid for him.
