t20 world cup : America and West Indies are going to organize the T20 World Cup together. This mega tournament will start from June 1, which will continue till June 29. But before the World Cup, the England team has suffered a big setback. England cricket team's star all-rounder Ben Stokes does not want to play ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Ben Stokes has said that he does not want to play in the World Cup. Stokes is currently the captain of the England Test team and wants to be fully fit to bowl not only in Test cricket but also in other formats. England is going to play a 3-match Test series against Sri Lanka and West Indies this year.
'Withdrawal from World Cup and IPL is a big sacrifice for me…'
Regarding selection for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024, Ben Stokes said, “I am working hard to improve my bowling fitness. I want to play the role of an all-rounder in all three formats of cricket. Withdrawing from the World Cup and IPL would probably be a big sacrifice for me and would help me become an all-rounder. Recently during the India tour, after knee surgery and a break of 9 months, I realized how far behind I was in bowling. I am going to play for Durham in the County Championship and after that I will focus on the Test series. I wish Jos Buttler, Matthew Mott and the entire team all the best to successfully defend the trophy.”
