Former Australian Test skipper Tim Paine has lashed out at England Test captain Ben Stokes for coming out of ODI retirement to play in the World Cup, saying he cannot just "pick" and "choose" events.
Stokes, 32, had announced his ODI retirement in July last year saying playing three formats had become "unsustainable" for him. But he recently came out of retirement to be included in the 15-member England squad to play a limited-overs fixture against New Zealand at home, which is a preparatory series for the World Cup in India.
While England are excited about the all-rounder's return to the ODI side ahead of the World Cup in India from October 5, Paine indicated Stokes was being selfish.
