‘Clarity in my head’: Records tumble as Ben Stokes comes clean on retirement call ahead of World Cup

By IANS News September 14, 2023 • 14:42 PM View: 864

Stylish cricketer Ben Stokes has revealed he was always planning to reverse his decision to retire from ODI cricket and return in time for this year's World Cup as the England star delivered yet another reminder of his all-round brilliance with a record-breaking innings against New Zealand, here.

Stokes retired from ODI cricket last year and even told reporters at the conclusion of this year's Ashes series that he had no plans of performing a backflip on that decision and returning to action for the World Cup that commences in India next month.
