'Huge distraction': Strauss questions timing of Ben Stokes' retirement

Former England captain Andrew Strauss has voiced concerns over Ben Stokes' retirement announcement during the crucial Test against New Zealand, deeming it a significant distraction. Strauss believes such news should be shared either before or after a match to maintain team focus. Stokes, an exceptional all-rounder, retires with numerous records, including the most Test sixes and a rare double of over 7,000 runs and 250 wickets.
