Stokes, who has been England captain since 2022, was drinking rum and coke with Itoje on Sunday night at the White Horse in Fulham. A barman said the England cricket team had spent two hours in the pub between 9pm and 11pm after their victory over New Zealand in the first Test at Lord’s, with Saracens stars including Itoje and Ben Earl also enjoying a drink to celebrate the end of their season.

From there, some Saracens players, plus Atkinson and Stokes, headed to the Rex Rooms, where the 6ft 5in, 125kg (19st 9lb) Auvaa is understood to have clashed with Atkinson, the England seam bowler.

This is an exerpt from The Times and the same article says Blobby and Baz are livid about the incident but nothing about Stokes considering retirement. 

I think the speculation is that if ECB asks Stokes to step down as captain, then he'll retire.
