England captain Ben Stokes to retire from international cricket after third Test vs New Zealand

England captain Ben Stokes will retire from international cricket after the third Test against New Zealand, the team has said.

The announcement came midway through Day 4 of the test at Trent Bridge.

It ends Stokes' 15-year international career that peaked when he starred for England in its win over New Zealand in the 50-over World Cup final in 2019.

He also was a key player in England's T20 World Cup-winning team in 2022, the same year he became Test captain.

Stokes was dropped from the second test of the current series for disciplinary reasons after a night out after the first test.
