The incident forced Ben Stokes and fast bowler Gus Atkinson to miss England's 253-run defeat to New Zealand in the second Test at The Oval. However, both players have returned to the squad after the hearing concluded and have been included in England's 15-man squad for the third Test match at Trent Bridge.
The report stated that a dispute over tables escalated during the early hours of June 8. Saracens Academy rugby player Totoa Auvaa allegedly threw a punch at Atkinson but missed him and instead struck an England team security guard. The guard required stitches following the incident.
Stokes believed he had not breached team curfew rules because he thought player restrictions ended once a Test match had concluded. However, the ECB later determined that remaining out beyond midnight breached newly introduced team protocols.

England Managing Director Rob Key later revealed that Gus Atkinson was unaware of the curfew because he had missed earlier team briefings while recovering from a hamstring injury.
With the disciplinary process now complete, both Stokes and Atkinson have returned to England's squad for the third Test against New Zealand at Trent Bridge. The squad also includes Jamie Smith and Ollie Robinson as England look to regain the lead in the series after the defeat at The Oval.
