Managing Director of England Men's Cricket Rob Key has refused to rule out the possibility of Ben Stokes reversing his decision to retire from ODI cricket so he can feature in the World Cup title defence in India next year.
Stokes made the announcement in July, stating that England's current schedule is "unsustainable" and that it was "time for someone else to progress as a cricketer and make incredible memories".
The all-rounder was, of course, named player of the match in the final when England won the 50-over World Cup on home soil back in 2019 after scoring an unbeaten 84, with Eoin Morgan's side ultimately winning on the boundary countback rule after a dramatic super over.
