Stokes charged with affray after nightclub incident
London, Jan 15 (IANS) England all-rounder Ben Stokes was on Monday charged with affray over an incident outside a Bristol nightclub.
According to a BBC report, a statement from the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said: “Following a review of all the available evidence, the CPS has today authorised the police to charge three men with affray in connection with the incident.”
“Ben Stokes, 26, Ryan Ali, 28, and Ryan Hale, 26, are all due to appear before Bristol Magistrates’ Court on a date to be fixed in relation to this charge,” it said.
The 26-year-old has been charged along with two men from Bristol.
The incident took place in September, leaving a man with a fractured eye socket.
Stokes missed the Ashes series in the aftermath with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) saying he would not be considered for England “until further notice”.
In this period, Stokes played six domestic matches in New Zealand last December. He has also been given permission to take part in the Indian Premier League.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
