‘More Agony for India’: Twitter Reacts to Ben Stokes’ Acquittal
After being found not guilty in a street fight, England cricketer Ben Stokes could be picked for the next Test.
After being found not guilty for his role in a street fight, England cricketer Ben Stokes might be picked to play their next Test against India, starting 18 August at Nottingham. And according to Twitter, that could be bad news for the visitors, who are already trailing 0-2 in the five-match series.
Stokes was on trial for knocking out two men in the southwest English city of Bristol last September. The criminal case led to Stokes missing some of England's biggest matches, including the Ashes tour of Australia and the second Test against India last week.
Stokes had been left out of England’s unchanged squad for the third Test. However the team management had clarified that he could possibly be included, if absolved of affray.
