England star Stokes taking indefinite mental well-being break
LONDON (AFP) - England all-rounder Ben Stokes is to take an indefinite break from all forms of cricket with immediate effect to "prioritise his mental well-being", the England and Wales Cricket Board announced Friday.
Stokes has now withdrawn from England s Test squad ahead of a five-match series against India starting at Trent Bridge next week. The ECB said in a statement that it "fully supports" Stokes decision and that it would continue to help him during this period away from the game.
