England cricket captain Ben Stokes has been dropped from the second Test against New Zealand following a breach of team protocol, but former skipper Michael Vaughan still believes that Stokes has "earned the right" to retain his leadership role despite the incident.
Stokes and seamer Gus Atkinson were stood down after violating a midnight curfew following the series opener at Lord’s. The night out in London reportedly culminated in a confrontation involving Saracens rugby union player Totoa Auvaa.
