England's star all-rounder and Test captain Ben Stokes has announced his retirement from all forms of international cricket. During the Trent Bridge Test against New Zealand, he cited physical and mental exhaustion, persistent injuries, and the pressure of captaincy as reasons. While Michael Vaughan suggested trust issues with the board, Stokes publicly focused on personal workload. Stokes leaves a legacy of over 10,000 international runs and 300+ wickets, including 7,273 runs and 252 wickets in Tests. He played match-winning knocks in the 2019 World Cup and 2022 T20 World Cup. Harry Brook is considered the likely successor for captaincy. https://www.swadeshnews.in/sports/ben-stokes-retirement-england-international-cricket-sports-news/220140 #creator program
