While many local English media reports suggest that Ben Stokes will join his IPL team Rajasthan Royals by the first week of October for the ongoing IPL edition, former England cricketer Monty Panesar feels otherwise. Raising doubts about his participation this season, Panesar said that the English all-rounder might miss the complete IPL season. Stokes' father has been diagnosed with brain cancer and he is currently in New Zealand, supporting his family. Panesar who feels that Stokes is the 'superman of cricket' also said that his presence in the IPL will be massive.
