    Cricket: All-rounder Ben Stokes opts out of England squad for Twenty20 World Cup

    England all-rounder Ben Stokes has opted out of selection for this year's Twenty20 World Cup, the country's cricket board (ECB) said in a statement on Tuesday.

    "I'm working hard and focusing on building my bowling fitness back up to fulfil a full role as an all-rounder in all formats of cricket," Stokes, England's test captain, said in a statement.

    "Opting out of the IPL and the World Cup will hopefully be a sacrifice that allows me to be the all-rounder I want to be for the foreseeable future."
