Cricket World Cup: Ben Stokes admitted he will have to "think hard about" whether to continue playing ODIs for England after his side finished a disappointing ICC Men's Cricket World Cup campaign with a victory over Pakistan.

Stokes, who retired from ODIs in July last year, came out of ODI retirement to help his side with their Cricket World Cup title defence in India. But the decision looked to have backfired as England's title defence ended early after the Three Lions were eliminated in the group stage.

"I think to answer that one, it goes back to my initial reason for stepping away from this format, to ease my workload. As Test captain, there is a lot of stuff coming up. There's a lot of stuff that I want to do with that Test team. It will be a decision that I'm probably going to have to think about, quite hard, to produce an outcome," Stokes told Sky Sports.
