ICC Takes No Action Over Ben Stokes Retirement Video

The International Cricket Council will take no action over the video of Ben Stokes announcing his retirement from Test cricket. The Independent reported that the governing body wrote to the England and Wales Cricket Board after the footage showed Stokes addressing the dressing room on the fourth day of last month’s final Test against New Zealand.

The video appeared first on England’s social media channels and was later shown on television.

ICC anti-corruption rules limit filming inside dressing rooms without prior approval. The ECB responded to the letter and the issue has now been closed. ” The announcement occurred while he was bowling in the match; he took a wicket with the next delivery.

England lost the Test and the series 2-1 the following day. Stokes had returned to the side for the third Test after missing the second match following an off-field incident.
