Ben Stokes premature retirement from Odis has caused concern in the world cricket. British test captain, in his statement announced retirement of odi, clearly mentioned: “Three formats are just not continuing for me now. I not only feel that my body disappoints me because of the schedule and what is expected from us, but I also feel that I replace the player Others that can give Jos and other team members. It’s time for others to advance as a cricket player and make extraordinary memories like I have for the past 11 years. “
Stokes’s statement has raised the debate about whether too much cricket is being played at this time. Speaking of this issue, former British cricket captain Kevin Pietersen carried out excavations on the British cricket council and Wales (ECB).
I once said the schedule was horrendous and I could not overcome it, so I retired from Odi Cricket & ECB forbid me from T20 too . Pietersen wrote in a tweet.

Pietersen has a hot and cold relationship with ECB. Despite being the top dough, he often experiences disputes with cricket boards. Pietersen played 104 tests, 136 ODI and 37 T20I for England scored 8181, 4440, 1176 running each in three formats. He also played for several IPL franchises.
Not happy about the initial retirement of Stokes from the format, another former British captain Michael Vaughan showed that the bilateral and franchise cricket series could not run in line.
The Lateral BI series Odi / T20 must go if all boards around the world are desperate for the franchise tournament itself !! Something must be given … It should not be a player who retired from one aged 31 !!!!” said Vaughan in a tweet on Monday.
