Ben Stokes announced his retirement from international cricket to his teammates before play on the fourth day of the third Test against New Zealand at Trent Bridge. The 35-year-old will conclude his Test career at the end of the match. Stokes opened the batting in England's second innings and received a guard of honour from the New Zealand side.
He made a public announcement of his retirement before tea, after which the Trent Bridge crowd gave him a standing ovation. Stokes has represented England across all formats for 15 years. His innings at Headingley in the 2019 Ashes series against Australia helped England win that Test match.
