Controversial reason said by ben stokes on his retirement..!?
2 things that ben stokes said during the retirement announcement have caused a stir in the england cricket team. ben stokes, is the leading all-rounder of the england team. He has been appointed as the captain of the Test team and has now announced his retirement from ODI cricket. However, the explanation given by him for retirement has caused confusion. He said it was a very difficult decision. However, he could not contribute 100% to the team in this form of cricket. He said he is retiring as he thinks he can't pay more.
These words of ben stokes, is he not fully utilized by the team management? causing confusion. All-rounder ben stokes is not given adequate bowling opportunities in ODI cricket. He bowled only 3 overs in 3 ODIs with India. Even when the part-time bowlers bowled, stokes was not given a chance.
Stokes also said another thing. He means he couldn't hold on in all 3 forms of cricket. Not to say his body wasn't fully cooperating. He had said that he could not handle it because the competition schedules were also consecutive.
As the t20 world cup series approaches, every team is planning to manage the workload of their key players properly. But the constant competition in the england team has created confusion as to whether the workload is too high.
