Star England cricket team all-rounder Ben Stokes continues to train for the 13th edition of Indian Premier League (IPL 2020) even though he is aware that the cash-rich tournament may become yet another sporting event to be cancelled due to the Covid-19 or coronavirus pandemic.
 
IPL 2020 was originally scheduled to start on March 29 at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai but it was postponed to April 15 to contain the spread of the coronavirus, which has claimed more than 19,000 lives across the globe.
