Ben Stokes Quits International Cricket

Stokes, 35, stepped away after England fell to defeat, saying his body could no longer withstand the rigors of international cricket.

He endorsed Harry Brook as his successor as captain.

His departure marks the end of one of England's most celebrated careers, highlighted by the 2019 World Cup triumph and the Headingley miracle.

Head coach Brendon McCullum committed to staying on despite the loss of his skipper.
