BEN STOKES accepts he may have played his last white-ball game for England, despite being involved in “very brief” talks over becoming one-day captain.

The Test skipper was namechecked by managing director of men’s cricket Rob Key as a possible all-format leader when Jos Buttler stood down earlier this year.

In the end, Harry Brook was handed the reins of the T20 and ODI teams, with Stokes’s recent injury problems and a focus on forthcoming marquee series against India and Australia effectively taking him out of contention.
