Ben Stokes made an emotional post on social media and wrote – These 15 years have been great. In this journey, I touched new heights in my cricket career and personal life.

This time in the final, Stokes played an unbeaten inning of 52 runs against Pakistan.
It’s been a crazy 15 years. It’s had everything thrown in there, from the highest highs to the lowest lows (on and off the field 😜).
My time was up, and no one was going to be able to make that decision other than me.
But in the meantime, I just want to say I ❤️ every single…
