Rajasthan Royals issued a statement saying that: “Rajasthan Royals all-rounder Ben Stokes injured his finger because of this, he will not be able to participate in future IPL matches. Rajasthan Royals absolutely admires Ben for being such a huge asset and a valuable member of the Royals family, both on and off the field, and wishes him a speedy recovery. We are delighted that Ben would like to stay with the team to provide his valued support and inputs off the field. In the meantime, we will be reviewing potential replacement options for Stokes.”
