“As difficult a choice as this was to make, accepting the truth that I can no longer give my teammates my all in this format is easier. Nobody should wear the England jersey any less honorably. Three forms are simply no longer manageable for me. Because of the schedule and the demands placed upon us, I feel as though not only is my body failing me, but I am also depriving Jos and the rest of the squad of a player who can give their best. It’s time for another cricketer to develop and create unforgettable memories, as I have over the past 11 years, “Added he.
Stokes added in his statement: “I will give Test cricket everything I have, and now that I’ve made this choice, I feel like I can also offer the T20 format my full dedication. I want to wish future success to Jos Buttler, Matthew Mott, the players, and the support staff. Over the past seven years, white-ball cricket has advanced significantly, and the future is promising.
“I’ve enjoyed every one of the 104 games I’ve played so far. I still have one left, and it feels incredible to be playing it at my home stadium in Durham. The England supporters have always supported me and will do so in the future. The world’s best fans are you. I hope we can defeat South Africa on Tuesday and take a good early lead in the series “Added him.
