The ECB is currently investigating a breach of team protocols following the conclusion of the first Men’s Test against New Zealand.

Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson were present at a nightclub in the early hours of Monday morning when an incident took place.

We are currently seeking further information, and an announcement regarding the squad for the second Test will be made in due course.

The Cricket Regulator has been informed and we will provide a further update when possible.
