Tim Paine criticizes Ben Stokes harshly for delaying his ODI retirement till the Cricket World Cup in 2023. For the forthcoming ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 in India, England has welcomed back Ben Stokes, its World Cup 2019 hero. In order to defend England’s status as World Cup champions, Ben Stokes will make his comeback from retirement to play for England in one more One-Day International.
Last year, Stokes made the decision to stop playing in ODIs in order to concentrate on the Test and T20I formats. In the forthcoming home series against New Zealand, Stokes will make his comeback. Following this development, former Australian captain Tim Paine criticised England test captain Ben Stokes harshly for changing his mind.

Tim Paine, a former Australian captain, stated in an interview with SEN Tasmania that he considers this option to be quite intriguing and that it is simply based on the player’s tendency to choose only certain events. “I found that interesting,” Paine said of Stokes coming out of his ODI retirement.
There was a little bit of me, me, me, and me, wasn’t there? It said, “I’ll pick and choose where to play, when to play, and where to play in the major tournaments.” The players who lasted a year apologised and thanked everyone. But I want to play right now, so could you just go sit on the bench?
Former Australian captain Tim Paine added that England will be choosing between Brook and Stokes for their middle order batter in a very close choice. He added that he is not bowling, putting an end to the argument that he is an all-rounder. In the final Three Ashes test, Stokes only participated as a batter for England.
I don’t know, Stokes isn’t bowling, Paine replied. Ben Stokes or Harry Brook? It would be really near, extremely close as a batter. In the first two Ashes tests, Stokes did bowl, but he was unable to bowl for prolonged stretches.
