Media Advisory: ECB Reaction to Cricket Discipline Commission decisions

Tom Harrison, Chief Executive Officer of the ECB, said:

“We accept the decisions made by the Cricket Discipline Commission and the sanctions they have given to Alex Hales and Ben Stokes.

“Each pleaded guilty, admitted their charges and has accepted their sanctions.

“They will now be available to play for England, with the same support as all of our players.

“Today is a very strong reminder of the values that sit at the heart of our game and the standards that should always be expected.”
