An incident in Bristol involving Ben Stokes led to his arrest in the early hours of Monday morning, Andrew Strauss, the ECB director of cricket, told reporters during a press conference on Tuesday (September 26), confirming that the all-rounder as well as Alex Hales will miss the fourth ODI against Windies at The Oval.
Stokes was held overnight and released late on Monday and is under investigation although no charges have been pressed against him, yet. Hales, who was with Stokes on Sunday night when the incident took place, did not take part in the training session on Tuesday as he returned to Bristol to help police with their enquiries.
