Ben Stokes has made a triumphant return to the England ODI team. As the 50-over World Cup in India approaches in October, Stokes has been selected for England's upcoming ODI series against New Zealand.
Last year, Stokes bid farewell to the ODI format shortly after becoming the Test captain. He explained that playing all three formats of the game had become too demanding for him, considering his physical condition and the demanding schedule.
"Ben Stokes returns to the England Men's ODI set-up after deciding to reverse his decision to retire from the format while uncapped Surrey quick Gus Atkinson is included in the 15-player squad," an ECB release stated.
England has unveiled two squads for the ODI and T20I series, each consisting of four matches. Exciting newcomer Gus Atkinson from Surrey has received his first international call-up and has been chosen for both squads. Another promising player, John Turner, has also earned his first call-up but will only participate in the T20Is.
"The return of Ben Stokes only adds to that quality with his match-winning ability and leadership. I am certain that every fan will enjoy seeing him back in an England ODI shirt again," said Luke Wright, England Men's National Selector.
"We're also excited to give first international call-ups to both Gus Atkinson and John Turner while Josh Tongue has deserved a place in the T20 squad after impressing during the Ashes.
"Any series against New Zealand is closely fought and will provide us with an ideal opportunity to test ourselves against one of the best teams in the world."
