More change needed after Stokes retires – VaughanFigure caption, ‘That’s exactly why he’s a great!’ – Stokes’ strikes with first ball after retirement announcedByMatthew HenryBBC Sport journalist at Trent BridgePublished23 minutes agoFormer captain Michael Vaughan mentioned he will be “absolutely staggered” if there is not more leadership change in English cricket after Ben Stokes’ retirement.Stokes, 35, will play his final day of international cricket on day five of the third Test against New Zealand on Monday, having declared his shock decision on Sunday.
Stokes, coach Brendon McCullum and director of men’s cricket Rob Key had all been retained in their roles by England and Wales chief executive Richard Gould after last winter’s Ashes defeat.
Vaughan suggested Stokes could return to the fold if there is change at the top.
“There will be change,” Vaughan told the BBC.
“There must be change after what we’ve seen here in terms of a cricketing sense now over a period of time.”
