    England could lift Ben Stokes's suspension

    England have gone down 1-0 in the Ashes after losing the first Test in Brisbane. The England's batsman crumbled while English bowlers lacked venom to test the Australian batsmen. Perhaps, the inclusion of Ben Stokes could turn the equation. Stokes, who has been suspended by the ECB after being accused of being involved in a street brawl in Bristol, could make a shocking return.

    Police to decide England cricketer's destiny

    If Stokes is cleared by the police of any wrong doing, the all-rounder could be return to the English squad even for the Ashes. The ECB is waiting for the outcome of the police report of the events that took place in Bristol that particular night. Unfortunately, the investigation has gotten delayed due to a new witnesses coming forward.

    Stokes may join England sooner than expected

    ECB's Director of Cricket, Andrew Strauss confirmed that they are still awaiting police's decision on if charges will be laid on the cricketer. Stokes has already given his statement to the police and if no charges are pressed against the all-rounder we could see him in action for the third Test in Perth starting on 14th of December.

    Will the prodigal son return in time?

    While his England team-mates will step onto the field against Australia in Adelaide this weekend, Stokes will play for Canterbury Kings in New Zealand's Ford Trophy. The English all-rounder flew down on Monday to Christchurch for the 50 over competition. His contract is likely to hold a release clause that would allow him to join the England squad in Australia if permitted by ECB.

    ECB is taking no chances

    If Stokes makes his return, he will have no more wild nights. ECB boss Andrew Strauss and head coach Trevor Bayliss have opted to change the player's code of conduct after wicket keeper Jonny Bairstow's head-butt incident and Ben Stokes's brawl row. England cricketers have now been handed a midnight curfew. Any player breaking the curfew will face serious disciplinary action.
