England captain Ben Stokes has announced his retirement from international cricket. He will play his final match after the ongoing third Test against New Zealand at Trent Bridge. Stokes informed his teammates before the fourth day's play. The England and Wales Cricket Board later confirmed the news. Stokes made his international debut in 2011 and became one of England's greatest all-rounders. He played a key role in England's 2019 and 2022 World Cup victories. As Test captain, he introduced the aggressive "Bazball" style with coach Brendon McCullum. His retirement marks the end of a memorable career.
