Report: Ben Stokes will retire from Test Cricket
A major and surprising news has emerged from England cricket. Star all-rounder Ben Stokes, one of the greatest and most legendary captains in the history of England cricket, will step down as captain. He will also retire from Test cricket, a report stated. Several media reports since Tuesday morning claimed that Ben Stokes would be stripped of the Test captaincy. Now, reports have emerged that Ben Stokes will retire from Test cricket as a result of the recent nightclub brawl.

He doesn’t want the England and Wales Cricket Board to take any action against him, and he may step down as captain and retire before the board takes any action.
“Days were spent under the shadow of gunmen during Pakistan tour”: Litton Das
Bangladesh did not participate in the T20 World Cup 2026. Citing security concerns, Bangladesh’s interim government had refused to send its national cricket team to the tournament, which was held in India and Sri Lanka. However, Bangladesh wicketkeeper-batter Litton Das has now made a significant revelation. He stated that since they had already played cricket in Pakistan, they had no issue with playing the World Cup in India. He also recalled the security arrangements during their previous tour of Pakistan.
Litton said, “We attended a meeting where top BCB officials were present. We were simply in the mood to sit in an air-conditioned room and have some tea. We were asked for our opinion—what did we, as players, want? Naturally, we didn’t want any conflict and wanted to play in the tournament.” He added, “We were told there were security issues in that country (India). We responded by saying that we had played in Pakistan as well. Armed security personnel used to stand outside our rooms there. What could be riskier than that? If we could play in Pakistan, why not in India?”
