Due to the recent statement issued by the ECB, Ben Stokes will not be available for Durham Jets’ forthcoming Vitality Blast fixture this Friday (AUG 17).
An ECB Spokesperson said:
“Now that the legal proceedings have concluded, the disciplinary process for Ben Stokes and Alex Hales can be scheduled by the Cricket Discipline Commission [CDC].
“Ben Stokes will now join the England squad for the 3rd Specsavers Test against India, which starts at Trent Bridge on Saturday.
“Considerable detail has been heard in this week-long court case and, in due course, there will be a range of matters for the Board to fully consider.”
