Minutes before tea in the Third Test against New Zealand at Trent Bridge, Ben announced he would be standing down as England cricket captain and retiring from International cricket at the conclusion of the match.
For fans of England Mens cricket team, Sunday 28 June will be remembered as the day Ben brought down the curtain on a Test career that has left many with memories that will stay with them for the rest of their lives.
Richard Thompson, the Chair of the ECB said: “Ben Stokes leaves the international game as one of England's greatest ever cricketers and one of the defining figures of his generation. His performances under pressure, his relentless competitiveness and his ability to produce the extraordinary when it matters most have given me and millions of other fans memories that will endure forever."
