England Test captain Ben Stokes is facing an investigation by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and the independent Cricket Regulator following what officials have described as a 'breach of team protocols' after England's first Test victory over New Zealand.
The ECB confirmed that Stokes and fast bowler Gus Atkinson were present at a London nightclub in the early hours of Monday morning when an incident took place. While the governing body has not disclosed the nature of the incident, it said enquiries were ongoing and that the Cricket Regulator had been informed.
