Ben Stokes, England’s vice captain and one of their most important players, won’t tour with the rest of tram to Australia for Ashes, ECB has confirmed. Stoke was suspended after he and team mate Alex Hales were arrested following an altercation outside a Bristol nightclub last month and released under investigation.
“All-rounder Ben Stokes will not travel with the rest of England’s squad for the Ashes, though no final decision has been taken on his participation in the Test series in Australia” ECB said in a statement.
Though, fast bowler Steven Finn has been added to the Ashes squad.
