Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson went to a party after the win over New Zealand in the first Test match. However, both cricketers were involved in a fight in a nightclub after they breached the team’s curfew, and they had a physical altercation with a Rugby player, which saw them being suspended from the second Test match.
"No. I mean, that's such an extreme thing to put on a team. I think cricket has a drinking culture, and it really hasn't changed. We're in 2026 now, and the game has become much more professional over the years. But one thing that I think has stayed the same is cricket's relationship with alcohol."
"So, for people who think the England cricket team specifically has a drinking culture, I'd say no. I would say cricket, as a sport, has a culture that is associated with alcohol."
Ben Stokes believes England's drinking culture will not change
"I think it can be. If you look back over the years, you'll see a lot of people involved in cricket who have had unhealthy relationships with alcohol. I honestly don't know what you do to change it. It's just one of those things."
"But I still believe that cricket's relationship with alcohol has remained the same since the 1980s. As the game has improved and become more professional, that one aspect has stayed exactly the same. That's my opinion on cricket and alcohol."
Has Ben Stokes been involved in a fight previously?
Previously, back in 2017 in Bristol on September 25, he was involved in a high-profile street fight outside a nightclub. He was later arrested and charged with affray, though he was found not guilty by a jury at Bristol Crown Court in August 2018.
