Former England captain Nasser Hussain has labelled Ben Stokes' decision to retire from ODI cricket "disappointing news" and took aim at the current schedule, calling it "madness for players".
Stokes will play his 105th and final ODI on Tuesday against South Africa and cited the "unsustainable" schedule as the reason behind his retirement from the format. "As hard as a decision this was to come to, it's not as hard as dealing with the fact I can't give my team-mates 100 per cent of myself in this format any more," he said in a statement.
"The England shirt deserves nothing less from anyone who wears it. Three formats are just unsustainable for me now.
