Stokes has
arrived in Dubai to play in the IPL for Rajasthan Royals. He is currently in
quarantine.
Stokes flew
to New Zealand after hearing the news of his father's illness after the Test series's first match against Pakistan last August. His parents live there.
Stokes has not been seen in the rest of the Test series against Pakistan and in
the T20 series, and in the ODI series against Australia.
He was not
even at the beginning of IPL. No news of him was found. A few days ago, it was finally known that one of the best cricketers of the time will play in the rest
of the IPL.
Stokes said
in a column in the Daily Mirror from a quarantined hotel in Dubai, he decided after talking to his parents and family.
“It was hard
to say goodbye to my father, mother, and brother in Christchurch. We were having a challenging time as a family, yet we moved on and stayed close to each
other as much as possible. I boarded the flight to Dubai with the love and
blessings of my parents. The decision was made at the request of everyone in
the family. There was no outside pressure. ”
"My
father has explained my responsibilities very strongly. He reminded me of my
professional responsibilities, my responsibilities as a husband and a father.
We thought a lot, talked for a long time, and finally decided that it was time
for me to focus on the game. ”
