Trent Bridge: Retired from the white ball format earlier. This time he left the red ball cricket too. England's famous all-rounder Ben Stokes announced this during the England vs New Zealand (ENG vs NZ test series) test series in Trentbridge.
He said that he will end Test cricket only after this Test match. Ben Stokes made his debut in international cricket in 2011. He has played 114 ODIs, 121 Tests and 43 T20 matches for the country.
Total runs in Test 7228, ODI 3463. His highest in Tests is 258 runs (vs. South Africa, 2015) and 180 wickets.
Stokes retired from T20 in 2022 and white ball cricket in 2023. In 2022, Brendon McCullum brought a new word to the dictionary of doubles cricket, which is called 'buzzball'. As this baseball has won England, Stokes has also come under criticism for losing matches many times.
In the 2019 Ashes series at Headingley, Ben played a last-wicket innings of 135 runs with Jack Leach. When you see his face again, one Carlos Brathwaite's four sixes in four balls in the 2016 World Cup final comes to mind. "Ben Stokes has decided to retire from England's Test team.
Ben, the team will miss a leader like you," the England Board said in a statement. However, recently he was practicing outside the field. A few days ago, his name was involved in a fight in a bar.
England dropped him from the team. He was returned to the team before the third Test. However, many are upset to hear Stokes' decision to retire at the moment.
Is it so easy to get a player like him again?
