Ben Stokes is to come out of ODI retirement and make himself available for England ahead of October's Cricket World Cup.
Stokes retired from the one-day format last year as he shifted his focus to captaining the Test team but he will now be available for the World Cup, as England look to defend their 50-over title.
He was named player of the match in the 2019 final as England defeated New Zealand in a dramatic super over. Stokes also scored a match-winning 52 not out when England won last year's T20 World Cup, beating Pakistan in the final.

As recently as June 26, Stokes told reporters, when asked whether he could play at this autumn's World Cup: "I remain retired from the ODIs and will not reverse it."

Ollie Pope and Mark Butcher express their excitement ahead of the news that Ben Stokes will make a potential return to the ODI side for the World Cup.
"Only he will know [if it's the right decision]. The knee injury which has dogged him for well over a year is going to need surgery at some point and until they get in there and discover exactly what the problems are he and we won't know how long the lay-off might be.
"But there's also the tantalising prospect of another World Cup. And he'll back himself and his fitness that whatever they have to do to him surgery-wise, post World Cup - hopefully after the final - then he'll have enough time to be ready to captain England on the tour of India early in the following year."
