Stokes expected to return for third Test against New Zealand

Ben Stokes is expected to make a return to the England line-up for the third Test against New Zealand. The all-rounder was ‌left out of the ongoing second Test following ​an investigation into an incident in a London nightclub.

That prompted fears he could be stripped of the captaincy, stand down of his own accord or even walk away permanently.

But he is expected to be brought back for the third Test against New Zealand, which starts at Trent Bridge on June 25.
