England Test captain Ben Stokes has urged for the scheduling of international cricket to be addressed in order to keep competition at the highest standard.
Stokes led England to a historic whitewash victory over Pakistan and was also inspirational in England's T20 World Cup win in November. This summer Stokes retired from one-day international cricket stating that playing for England over three formats was 'just unsustainable for me now'.
This comes against a background of more white-ball franchise leagues appearing and competing with the international game. Stokes wants the International Cricket Council (ICC) to re-think the international schedule in order to keep the best players competing at the highest level.
