Ben Stokes Likely to Call Time on Career Amid Growing Controversy
Ben Stokes is likely to step down as the captain of the England cricket team. He might even announce his retirement from the game, as per the reports. The English captain found himself in a controversy once again, as he got involved in a nightclub incident.
The nightclub incident would continue to haunt Ben Stokes for the remainder of his cricketing career. The English captain was once again involved in a heated incident at a nightclub, which came after England secured a massive win against New Zealand at The Lord's. The incident was against a player of Saracens Rugby Club, where Gus Atkinson was along with Stokes.
The ECB started a probe on this incident, and it was remaining to be known what actions would be taken on both players. Now the reports claim that Ben Stokes is likely to step down as the captain of the team and he might even announce his retirement from the game.
Reports claim that the English captain's future will be decided on Wednesday, and it will be confirmed whether he will be retiring from the game or not. Harry Brook is expected to lead the England cricket team for the second Test match against New Zealand, as both Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson are likely to miss out on the same.
Our Take
The future of Ben Stokes will be decided in a few hours and it would be intense for the fans to see what happens to the cricket legend. He has contributed a lot to the English team, including the POTM performance in the 2019 World Cup final. It should be noted that his impressive form at that time came right after his first nightclub incident. This time also a nightclub incident has happened, but it may put an end to his career.
