Root Pays Tribute To Stokes With A Heart-Warming Speech After A Loss Against SA
On Tuesday, Ben Stokes retired from ODI cricket after the first match against South Africa at his home ground in Durham. Stokes, who captains England in Test cricket, cited that playing three formats of the game was "unsustainable" in a hectic cricketing schedule.
After the match ended in a 62-run defeat, England batter Joe Root gave a heart-warming speech in the dressing room, paying rich tributes to Stokes and his impact on ODI cricket. "You might have to bear with me a bit here lads because I don't think anything I say will be able to sum up what I think of Ben. Obviously, a lot of emotions will be running through you. There's a lot running through me as a friend."
