I'm happy and content: Stokes after international retirement
England captain Ben Stokes announced his retirement from international cricket, saying he is "happy and content" with his career. Admitting captaincy "drains you," the 35-year-old leaves as an Ashes winner and two-time World Cup champion. Joe Root hailed him as the "first person on my team sheet in terms of making moments and creating history" following his shock decision.
