Ben Stokes Quits International Cricket After Defeat

Ben Stokes’ final match as England captain ended in a 160-run defeat by New Zealand, handing the Black Caps a 2-1 series win.

Stokes, 35, had announced his shock retirement during the third Test and said he is ‘done’ and would not reverse his decision.

His career was defined by heroic performances in the 2019 World Cup final and the Headingley Ashes Test.

The loss at Trent Bridge marked a somber end to an era for English cricket.
