Along with Stokes and Atkinson, an ECB security officer who required stitches was also involved in the incident at Chelsea nightclub Rex Rooms after England’s victory over New Zealand at Lord’s.
To avoid any further controversy, the cricket board imposed a midnight curfew, which was supported by the team's captain, Ben Stokes. The Stokes-led team got a cruising win over New Zealand in the ongoing three-match Test series at Lord’s.
This was how the incident took place
It is reported that the situation heated up after a disagreement between Gus Atkinson and a Saracens academy rugby player. The rugby player went to punch the England pacer, but missed it and instead hit the ECB security officer.
How can Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson make a return?
Amid the investigations, led by the Cricket Regulator and the board, both of them are set to return to domestic cricket to keep themselves match fit. As per the latest updates, Stokes and Atkinson are likely to play in the FC match that starts on June 19.
With the inclusion of Jofra Archer, the team management tried to maintain some balance, but without the premier all-rounder and the experienced pacer, the side lacks both quality and depth in their playing combination.
Some major updates are expected to come in the next couple of days, which will direct the future of Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson. If the investigations go according to plan and the evidence is in favor of the cricketers, then there will be a thin chance of seeing Stokes and Atkinson’s return to the national team ahead of the third Test, which will start on June 25 at Trent Bridge.
