- Ben Stokes ruled out reversing his decision to retire from international cricket ahead of next summer's Ashes
- Stokes' announcement came in the aftermath of England's series defeat by New Zealand, capping the end of his England career
Why it matters: Stokes' refusal closes the door on a potential Ashes return, leaving England without their premier all-rounder for a marquee series against Australia. The NZ series defeat appears to have been the final chapter of his England career rather than a catalyst for a rethink.
