England's Ben Stokes opts out of T20 World Cup to focus on fitness.

England all-rounder Ben Stokes has opted out of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, scheduled for June in the West Indies and USA, to focus on his fitness. Stokes, who is also England's Test captain, wants to use the break to ensure he can be "the all-rounder I want to be" across all formats. The 32-year-old has already opted out of the Indian Premier League, which began last month. England is defending the T20 World Cup title they won in 2022.
