Managing Director of England Men's Cricket Rob Key has admitted the schedule must become "more manageable" for players after Ben Stokes labelled it "unsustainable" when announcing his retirement from ODI cricket.
In his statement, Stokes said: "As hard as a decision as this was to come to, it's not as hard dealing with the fact I can't give my teammates 100% of myself in this format anymore. The England shirt deserves nothing less from anyone who wears it.
"Three formats are just unsustainable for me now. Not only do | feel that my body is letting me down because of the schedule and what is expected of us, but I also feel that I am taking the place of another player who can give Jos and the rest of the team their all.
