England Test captain Ben Stokes has announced that he will retire from all international cricket after the third and final Test match against New Zealand at Trent Bridge.

英格蘭測試賽隊長 Ben Stokes 宣布，在 Trent Bridge 對陣紐西蘭的第三場也是最後一場測試賽後，他將從所有國際板球賽事退休。

The announcement took place on the fourth day of play, after Stokes briefed his teammates on Sunday morning. Shortly after the news became public, Stokes took a wicket by dismissing Zak Foulkes. This decision follows a difficult period for the player; Stokes had missed the second Test at The Oval because he broke a midnight curfew during an incident at a London nightclub. Although the Cricket Regulator later found that he had not broken any official rules, the situation caused tension between Stokes and the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB).

這次宣布發生在比賽的第四天，是在 Stokes 於週日早晨向隊友簡報後發表的。消息公布不久，Stokes 隨即擊除 Zak Foulkes 拿下一分。這個決定是在該名球員經歷了一段艱難時期後做出的；Stokes 此前因在倫敦一家夜總會發生的事件中違反半夜宵禁，而缺席了在 The Oval 舉行的第二場測試賽。儘管板球監管機構隨後發現他並未違反任何官方規則，但該情況仍導致 Stokes 與英格蘭及威爾斯板球委員會 (ECB) 之間關係緊張。

Since becoming captain in 2022, Stokes has been known for 'Bazball,' an aggressive style of play he developed with coach Brendon McCullum. This approach led to early success, including a 56% win rate, although the team struggled against top teams like India and Australia. Individually, Stokes is one of the greatest players in history, being one of only two players to score over 7,000 runs and take 250 wickets in Test cricket. He is especially remembered for his key roles in the 2019 World Cup final and the 2019 Ashes.

自 2022 年出任隊長以來，Stokes 以「Bazball」聞名，這是一種他與教練 Brendon McCullum 共同開發的激進打法。這種方法在早期取得了成功，包括 56% 的勝率，儘管球隊在面對印度和澳洲等頂尖強隊時顯得吃力。就個人而言，Stokes 是歷史上最偉大的球員之一，是僅有的兩名在測試賽中得分超過 7,000 分並拿過 250 個 wicket 的球員之一。他在 2019 年世界盃決賽和 2019 年亞什斯賽（Ashes）中的關鍵表現尤其令人難忘。

In the current match, New Zealand finished their second innings at 288-9, thanks to a century from Daryl Mitchell. England began chasing 373 runs, and Stokes decided to open the batting, scoring 30 before being dismissed. His departure creates a leadership problem for the ECB. While Harry Brook is a potential successor, some officials are concerned about his behavior off the field, which means Joe Root might return as captain.

在目前的比賽中，紐西蘭隊在 Daryl Mitchell 擊出世紀分的幫助下，第二局以 288-9 結束。英格蘭開始追擊 373 分，Stokes 決定擔任開場擊球手，在被擊除前得分 30 分。他的離去為 ECB 帶來了領導力問題。雖然 Harry Brook 是一個潛在的繼任者，但部分官員對其場外行為感到擔憂，這意味著 Joe Root 可能會回歸擔任隊長。

Stokes will finish his international career on the final day of the Trent Bridge Test. After that, he plans to continue playing professional cricket for Durham County Cricket Club.

Stokes 將在 Trent Bridge 測試賽的最後一天結束他的國際生涯。之後，他計劃繼續為達勒姆郡板球俱樂部 (Durham County Cricket Club) 打職業板球。
