England all-rounder Ben Stokes is set to join his team Rajasthan Royals for the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2020) on Saturday night and will immediately start his Covid-19 related process so that he can hit the ground running at the earliest.

"He is coming in tonight and will immediately undergo the Covid-19 related procedures before joining the rest of the unit," the source said.

The English and Australian players who had come in from the bubble in the UK to Dubai had to quarantine for 36 hours while the general rule suggests a six-day quarantine period for the players along with tests to check on the virus.
