London: Has been embroiled in controversy in recent times. He also got into trouble with his country’s cricket board after getting involved in a brawl in a nightclub. This time, Ben Stokes decided to quit professional cricket in the middle of the test match. Stokes was once considered one of the best all-rounders in world cricket. An important member of the 2019 World Cup winning England team played with power in all three formats. In 2022, the England team led by Josh Buttler won the T20 World Cup. Stokes was also a member of that team.

England and Wales Cricket Board Chairman Richard Thompson said about Ben Stokes’ retirement announcement, ‘Ben Stokes is leaving international cricket as one of England’s greatest cricketers of all time and the greatest man of this generation. Ben’s performance under pressure, constant competition and ability to deliver extraordinary performances when needed will be remembered by me and millions of fans forever.’
