India vs England: Ben Stokes added to hosts' squad for third Test after being deemed not guilty of affray charges

London: All-rounder Ben Stokes, who was deemed not guilty of affray charges by a Bristol court on Tuesday, has subsequently been added to the England squad for the third Test starting on Saturday in Nottingham.

The all-rounder had played a handsome role in the first Test in Birmingham. He had a match haul of 6-113 across two innings as India lost by 31 runs. The England team management now face a selection headache, as his replacement Chris Woakes had scored a maiden Test hundred at Lord’s as also taking four wickets in the match. Meanwhile, the ECB will set up a Cricket Discipline Commission that will take stock of Stokes’ involvement in this physical altercation outside a Bristol pub last year. He, along with teammate Alex Hales, could yet be fined and suspended, however it will be some time before that conclusion can be reached. England squad: Joe Root (c), Alastair Cook, Keaton Jennings, Olliver Pope, Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler, Sam Curran, Chris Woakes, Adil Rashid, James Anderson, Stuart Broad, Moeen Ali, Jamie Porter, Ben Stokes.
