Ben Stokes And Gus Atkinson Return For England’s Series Deciding Test At Trent Bridge
Wales Cricket Board: Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson have been recalled to the England squad for the series‑deciding Test against New Zealand at Trent Bridge, starting on Thursday, after being stood down from the recently concluded second game following a breach of team protocols.
The announcement came little more than an hour after England, fielding a depleted line‑up, were beaten by 253 runs by New Zealand at The Oval. Stokes and Atkinson had earlier been withdrawn from their respective county championship duties for Durham and Surrey, thus clearing the way for their selection after being stood down following a nightclub incident on June 8, after England secured a115-run victory at Lord's.
The incident also involved a Saracens academy rugby player. “Stokes and Atkinson were found to have breached specific contractual obligations that require England players to at all times maintain the highest standards of conduct and act in the best interests of England cricket.
