Stokes facing uncertain future as England captain after nightclub incident ‘with rugby player’
LONDON: Ben Stokes’ position as England cricket captain was in jeopardy Monday after officials announced he was being investigated for a nightclub incident reportedly involving a Saracens rugby player. Both Stokes and team-mate Gus Atkinson are facing a probe by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) for breaking team rules in the early hours of Monday morning following England’s win in the first Test against New Zealand at Lord’s.

Saracens subsequently issued a statement confirming one their academy players was involved in an incident in
