Ben Stokes On Possible Return In White Ball Format: 2019 Be it the 2020 ODI World Cup or the 2022 T20 World Cup, Test captain and star all-rounder Ben Stokes played the biggest role in making England the champion. However, this player had announced his retirement from the ODI format almost 2 years ago. At that time, Ben Stokes cited the constantly stressful international schedule as the reason. Then he took a U-turn from his decision to retire for the ODI World Cup 2023. Now once again Stokes is going to take back his decision.

On this Ben Stokes said that there has been no discussion with coach Brendon McCullum on return to limited overs format. But if Brendon McCullum’s call comes then he is ready to play ODI format. He said that if Brendon McCullum’s call comes and I am asked if you would like to play ODI format? Then my answer will definitely be yes.
‘If I don’t get the opportunity to play again, then I will…’
Ben Stokes further says that playing for England in the ODI format will be a great experience. But if I don’t get the opportunity to play again, I am not going to be disappointed, rather I will sit out and enjoy… I have played more limited overs cricket for England. I am very happy with what I have achieved in it. But at this time I am not thinking about the ODI format. At this time my full focus is on the Test format. But if I get a chance to play in the ODI format, then I am ready.
