As England's white-ball captain Jos Buttler faces up to his own challenge of finding a way to replace Ben Stokes, he believes that the all-rounder's retirement from ODIs should act as a "wake-up call" for the game.
After England's 1st ODI vs South Africa, Buttler said that he's sure there's more to Stokes' retirement than just the hectic cricketing schedule.
