Suspended England all-rounder Ben Stokes is still waiting for a decision to be made on his Bristol bar brawl case. Stokes is under investigation for causing actual body harms to a 27-year-old man outside a bar after England’s win against West Indies in Bristol.
Stokes was arrested by the police next day but was released and is still under investigation for the incidence and did not travel to Australia with the team.
Stokes also suffered a broken arm in the bar brawl and was out of action for almost two months only to return to net practice last week. Ben Stokes posted videos of him practising in the nets on social media which amused a lot of his fans. He was seen completely fit in the videos and bowled with half and full run-ups. His batting was also up to the mark. However, his tactics of posting videos of his return to the nets had some criticism as well.
Didn’t see the point of Ben Stokes making that video for his team mates
Surely a text to his team mates would suffice?
Bit of an attention seeking way of taking focus on himself.#nodramas
