Ben Stokes arrest: England drops all rounder after Bristol nightclub incident

England all-rounder Ben Stokes has been dropped for Wednesday’s England-West Indies ODI after his arrest in Bristol.

According to BBC report, the incident took place after England’s win in the third ODI against West Indies on Sunday.

With the history of poor behaviour, Stokes spent his night in jail.

His teammate Alex Hales was also involved in the incident but was not arrested.
