England's star all rounder Ben Stokes has made a significant decision regarding his participation in this summer's ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. Stokes has chosen not to be considered for selection, prioritizing his fitness to fulfill a full role as an all-rounder in all cricket formats.

Stokes commented, "I'm focusing on building my bowling fitness to be the all-rounder I want to be in the future." This sacrifice includes opting out of the IPL and the T20 World Cup, emphasizing his dedication to long-term fitness and performance goals.

England's T20 World Cup campaign begins on 4 June against Scotland, with matches against Australia, Oman, and Namibia before the Super 8s and knockouts. Stokes' decision reflects a strategic approach to ensure he can contribute effectively across formats in the foreseeable future.
