No 'rash decision' over Stokes' future, says 'angry' Key

ECB managing director Rob Key says he felt dumbstruck, angry and frustrated after learning Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson broke team curfew rules, but is refusing to make a "rash decision" on the Test captain's future.

On Wednesday, the ECB announced that Stokes and Atkinson had "not been made available for selection" for England's second Test against New Zealand at The Kia Oval next week, after the pair were involved in an altercation at a nightclub in the early hours of Monday morning, after the team's midnight curfew.
