Ben Stokes shouldn't be playing for England despite not guilty verdict

Cricket analyst Simon Hughes does not agree with the decision to recall Ben Stokes to England’s squad for the third Test against India.

The Durham all-rounder was found not guilty of affray, a charge Stokes has always denied, relating to his involvement in a fracas in Bristol in September.

Hughes says the "scale of drinking" and "violence" during the incident which led to Stokes' arrest, means he should not be playing for England "at the moment".
