(Reuters) – England test captain Ben Stokes has raised concerns over the scheduling of international cricket, saying the authorities do not give the matter enough thought.

Stokes highlighted England’s three-match one-day international series in Australia in November, which started four days after they won the Twenty20 World Cup.

He described it as a “series which meant nothing”.

“The scheduling doesn’t get enough attention that it should,” Stokes told the BBC on Monday.

Some [people say ‘you are playing](https://www.financedigest.com/55-of-people-who-regularly-play-sport-dont-think-being-verbally-abusive-to-another-player-makes-them-a-bad-sport.html "55% OF PEOPLE WHO REGULARLY PLAY SPORT DON’T THINK BEING VERBALLY ABUSIVE TO ANOTHER PLAYER MAKES THEM A BAD SPORT") for England, that should be enough. But there is a lot more to factor in.”

Stokes announced his retirement from ODIs in July, citing the “unsustainable” rigour of [playing all three formats of the game](https://www.financedigest.com/youre-a-woman-harry-brits-back-game-of-thrones-maisie-williams-to-play-potter.html "You’re a woman, Harry! Brits back Game of Thrones’ Maisie Williams to play Potter").

The 31-year-old was part of the England team who won the ODI [World Cup](https://www.financedigest.com/soccer-englands-houghton-will-keep-knocking-the-door-for-the-world-cup.html "Soccer-England’s Houghton will keep ‘knocking the door’ for the World Cup") in 2019.

“You want international cricket to be the highest standard. But we have seen a lot of different squads being picked and players being rested, and that’s not the way international [cricket should go,” Stokes](https://www.financedigest.com/cricket-fiery-stokes-revives-england-but-s-africa-build-good-lead.html "Cricket-Fiery Stokes revives England but S Africa build good lead") added.
