Ben Stokes is weighing his future as England captain, several British media outlets reported Tuesday, following his involvement in a nightclub incident involving a Saracens rugby player.
Stokes and fast bowler Gus Atkinson are under investigation by the England and Wales Cricket Board for allegedly breaching team curfew rules on Monday morning after England’s win in the first Test against New Zealand at Lord’s.
The ECB is also reviewing reports that the pair were involved in a physical altercation during the night out.
Britain’s Press Association identified the rugby player as Totoa Auvaa, a former Samoa A and Samoa Under-20 captain who stands 6 feet 5 inches (1.95 meters) and weighs 19 stone 8 pounds (124.28 kilograms).
A security guard who was with the England players was reportedly injured in the incident.
