Stokes comes out of ODI retirement ahead of England’s defense of Cricket World Cup

Associated Press  

Ben Stokes is coming out of retirement from one-day internationals to play in England’s defense of the Cricket World Cup. The return of Stokes — England’s match-winner in the 2019 Cricket World Cup final against New Zealand at Lord’s — appears to have squeezed out Harry Brook, who was missing from the squad despite a brilliant start to his international career in the test and T20 formats. “If ever there’s someone for the big moments, it’s Ben Stokes,” England selector Luke Wright said on a video call. Unfortunately, we are running out of time and it’s not going to come around quick enough.” ___ England squad for ODI series against New Zealand and Cricket World Cup: Jos Buttler, Moeen Ali, Gus Atkinson, Jonny Bairstow, Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone, Dawid Malan, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, Reece Topley, David Willey, Mark Wood, Chris Woakes.
