Yorkshire chair Lord Patel has denied reports he was the ECB 'suit' Ben Stokes told to "f*** off" after his heroics in the 2019 Cricket World Cup.
In his new Amazon Prime documentary 'Ben Stokes: Phoenix From The Ashes', Stokes said he felt so let down by some at the ECB over the way they handled his 2017 arrest after a fight with two men outside a nightclub in Bristol, that he would never forgive them. The all-rounder also revealed an exchange with an unnamed ECB official who approached him for a selfie following the World Cup final.
Speaking in the documentary, Stokes said "I was let down by a few people and a few of them wear a suit as well. It is still there and always will be.
