Ben Stokes set for Durham return following nightclub altercation
England Test captain Ben Stokes could make his return to competitive cricket this week after being included in Durham's squad for their County Championship clash against Northamptonshire at Chester-le-Street. The terrific all-rounder has been named in Durham's 15-player squad for the Division Two fixture, signalling his potential comeback after missing England's second Test against New Zealand.
Stokes was left out of England's squad for the second Test against New Zealand after allegedly breaking the team curfew. The incident took place after the first Test at Lord's, when Stokes and fellow England fast bowler Gus Atkinson reportedly violated a team-imposed curfew. The matter escalated after a late-night altercation outside a nightclub.
In light of that incident, both players are currently the subject of separate investigations being conducted by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and the independent Cricket Regulator. Stokes' most recent home outing for Durham came against Worcestershire last season, shining with both bat and ball. He slammed a half-century in the first innings and took three wickets.
Durham squad: Colin Ackermann, Kasey Aldridge, David Bedingham, Graham Clark, Alex Lees (c), Ben McKinney, James Minto, Duanne Olivier, Callum Parkinson, Matthew Potts, Ben Raine, Will Rhodes, Luke Robinson, Ollie Robinson (wk), Ben Stokes
