After the conclusion of the final Ashes 2023 Test, Stokes is set to take a long break and go on holiday. Despite the team’s desire for his return, he remains committed to his retirement from ODIs and has no intentions of altering his decision.

The 2023 ICC World Cup will be without Stokes, who has been a key figure in England’s limited-overs setup. His explosive batting and effective bowling have been instrumental in several victories for the team. Here are his ODI stats:
