England's world cup hero, Ben Stokes announced his retirement from ODI cricket

One of the best all rounder in the world, Ben Stokes has decided his retirement from ODI cricket. He will play his last ODI match against South Africa on 19th July at his home ground in Durham. 

He was the hero of the 2019 world cup final for England, he made 84 runs in that match and also did well in the super over. His unbeaten knock  in 3rd test of 2019 Ashes is unforgettable, where he led England to the victory of 1 wicket. 

He was born in New Zealand on 4th of June, 1991. He made his international debut in 2011 against Ireland in ODI format. In 2016,his carrer was in deep trouble when he conceded 24 runs in last over of the T20 world cup and became the cause of England's defeat but he never gave up and became one of the finest all rounder.

Stats in ODIs:

Matches               83

Runs                     2919

Wickets                74

He said that the first ODI against South Africa will be his last one but he will continue his services in Tests and T20Is. He also said that now he can give his 100% to the longest and shortest format.
