Ben Stokes posted one last farewell to international cricket on Friday, thanking fans and team-mates alike for a “mad 15 years”.
The 35-year-old former England captain retired in extraordinary fashion during the third Test against New Zealand at Trent Bridge, making his exit public on the fourth afternoon and promptly taking a wicket next ball.
His last match as an England international capped a rollercoaster few weeks for the celebrated all-rounder that started with a morale-boosting win in the first Test at Lord’s, only for Stokes to miss New Zealand’s thumping win at the Oval for breaking a team midnight curfew at a London nightclub.
