Stokes, England's Test captain, shocked the cricket world earlier this week when he announced his retirement from the 50-over game due to an "unsustainable" schedule. Stokes stated in his retirement statement: "I feel like my body is letting me down because of the schedule and what is expected of us." McCullum felt Stokes made the right decision as it allows him to focus more on England's Test captain.


England Test team head coach Brendon McCullum has backed all-rounder Ben Stokes' decision to retire from ODI cricket, saying it will allow the 31-year-old to channel his energies in the game's longest format.

Stokes, the England Test skipper, announced earlier this week he was pulling out of the 50-over game due to an "unsustainable" schedule, shocking the cricket world. In his resignation statement, Stokes said: "I feel like my body is letting me down because of the schedule and what is expected of us."

"Yes, of course I am," McCullum told SENZ Breakfast when asked if he was happy with the call from the talismanic all-rounder. "Stokes is the skipper of our test site and the work I've seen him do in bringing the team together in a very short amount of time really excites me what he can achieve with this team, especially now that he has more time to instead of jumping from series to series to series."

"England is, I think, set up a little differently than most other cricket teams in the world because they play a lot of cricket, are sought after around the world and are able to generate such a fan base and also the financial returns from that Game must support 16 counties and the large organization English Cricket.

"Obviously we would have liked to see Ben Stokes play in three forms of the game, he's a superstar through and through and we've seen what he could achieve but sometimes things have to give way and I see it as such a positive that he'll have time to really dive into the test page.

"I also think it's a real mark of respect from the man that he's kind of bucking the trend of the short version of the game and actually trying to focus on what he sees as a big task to get Test Cricket back on to bring the level, or even exceed the levels it had in the past.

Asked if Stokes has set a precedent for others to follow by retiring from ODI cricket, McCullum said the cricketer had several reasons for quitting, not just the workload and a luxurious position that he can do , but even with the demands of the schedules and with his increased schedule as a Test Captain, it would have become too much. Also, he has a young family and is busy.
