Ben Stokes charged with affray following nightclub incident

England all-rounder Ben Stokes has been charged with affray in relation to an incident in Bristol last September, the Crown Prosecution Service announced on Monday (January 15).

Stokes was arrested on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm following an incident outside Bristol nightclub, Mbargo, on September 25, 2017 which left one man in hospital. Stokes missed the last two matches of the one-day series against Windies and was subsequently ruled out of the Ashes after the ECB said they would not select the all-rounder "until further notice".

Both the CPS and Avon and Somerset Police confirmed on Monday that Stokes and two other men had been charged following a six week review of the case by the CPS and the trio will appear at Bristol Magistrates' Court at a date to be confirmed. Convictions for affray can carry either financial or custodial penalties of varying severities.
