Stokes gets the ax after arrest
England has dropped Ben Stokes and Alex Hales from its side to play West Indies in the fourth one-day international at The Oval today following Stokes’s arrest, the England and Wales Cricket Board announced yesterday.
The duo have been made unavailable after key allrounder Stokes, 26, was arrested in Bristol in the early hours of Monday morning following England’s 124-run win in the third ODI in the southwest city on Sunday.
Hales, 28, was with Stokes when the incident happened in the Clifton district of Bristol on Sunday night.
The Oval match takes place just hours after England is due to unveil its squad for the Ashes tour of Australia at the south London ground today.
“Ben Stokes and Alex Hales will not be available for tomorrow’s one-day International match against West Indies at The Oval,” ECB director of cricket Andrew Strauss said, reading out a board statement at The Oval today.
“Stokes was arrested in the early hours of Monday morning, 25 September, following an incident in Bristol.
“He was held overnight and released under investigation — without charge — late on Monday and will not join the team in London.”
