Ben Stokes Quits International Cricket

England Test captain Ben Stokes announced his shock retirement from international cricket during the third Test against New Zealand at Trent Bridge, saying he had no more fight left in him.

The all-rounder, whose career highlights include the 2019 World Cup final and the Headingley Ashes Test, told his wife he was exhausted.

Stokes informed close confidants Joe Root and Harry Brook before making the bombshell announcement.

His sudden departure ends a 15-year career that defined a generation of English cricket.
