With the VIVO Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 being around the corner, players of all the teams are gearing for the T20 carnival. Prominent cricketers from all over the world aim to ply their trade in the gala tournament as IPL is the richest T20 league. With IPL providing such money, several players, over the years, have chosen to play in the Indian league over their national team. They have also been criticized for the same. Recently, a fan questioned England all-rounder Ben Stokes’ preference, saying that the Rajasthan Royals star chases money and doesn’t give his best while playing for England.

“Chasing a pound note again, once back in an england shirt will be too tired to bowl,” a netizen wrote while reacting to an interview of the all-rounder. Stokes, unsurprisingly, wasn’t amused with the statement and he gave a fitting reply. “When have I ever been to tired to bowl in a England shirt pal???” he replied. The right-arm pacer bowled regularly during the recently-concluded limited-overs series against India and even delivered some impressive spells. He even was England’s second most successful bowler in the ODI series with four wickets in three games.
