Ben Stokes' premature retirement from ODIs has raised concerns in world cricket. The England Test captain, in his statement announcing ODI retirement, clearly mentioned: "Three formats are just unsustainable for me now. Not only do I feel that my body is letting me down because of the schedule and what is expected of us, but I also feel that I am taking the place of another player who can give Jos and the rest of the team their all. It's time for someone else to progress as a cricketer and make incredible memories like I have over the past 11 years."

"Go Sit On A Beach": Ex-England Captain Says Virat Kohli "Needs A Sabbatical"
Former England captain Michael Vaughan feels out-of-form India batter Virat Kohli should take "three months break" from cricket, and spend some time with his family. Kohli, who has not scored a century in nearly three years, managed scores of 11 and 20 in the recently-concluded fifth Test against England at Edgbaston in Birmingham. Highlighting Kohli's poor returns with the bat of late, Vaughan said that the 33-year-old batter needs a sabbatical from cricket, which will help him re-invent himself.
Go and sit on a beach, take three-month sabbatical: Michael Vaughan tells Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli could be better off taking a three-month sabbatical and "go and sit on a beach", suggested former England captain Michael Vaughan. Two low scores in the recently-held Covid-delayed fifth Test against England have extended Kohli's lean run with the bat. Kohli looked in fine touch during his stay in the middle, but failed to convert his starts into substantial scores, as England rallied to win the match and level the series 2-2.
