Ben Stokes is expected to resume his role as captain for Durham in the upcoming County Championship match against Northamptonshire next week, according to reports from The Mirror. This return follows his exclusion from England's second Test against New Zealand earlier this month.
The decision to exclude the captain from international competition was based on a breach of team protocols involving an early morning visit to a nightclub, as reported by The Mirror.
While Stokes is set to continue with his county duties, the Times of India reports that both he and teammate Gus Atkinson have been cleared for domestic play. According to the Times of India, officials are expected to provide a decision on their availability for international fixtures in the near future.
