Ben Stokes Retirement: From World Cup Glory to Ashes Heroics, A Legendary Career Ends
Ben Stokes Retirement: After the Lord's Test in the recent series against New Zealand, Ben Stokes got embroiled in a controversy involving a late-night altercation and a breach of the team curfew but returned to the squad, and the captaincy, for the third Test of the series in Nottingham. Unfortunately, this proved to be his last dash, and Ben Stokes announced his retirement, in the middle of a session at Trent Bridge. A warrior, who was also a showman, will not be seen now in international cricket. He has so far ruled out any U-turn, even for the Ashes, next year.
He was one of the best all rounders this game has ever seen. In terms of form, his best year was 2020, as he scored at an average of 50+ and claimed wickets at 18. However, he shall be remembered for 2019 for his two best moments: the 2019 World Cup final and the successful chase at Headingley (Ashes century). He played 38 innings for England that year, but the World Cup final and Headingley innings shall always be talked about as among the best.
