ljkeane Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 The ECB have now decided Stokes is available for selection after he's been charged with affray. So what exactly was the point of not picking him before then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Steyn is fit then I expect the selectors will give him the nod. It's a risky move though as I think there's about a 50% chance that we end up a bowler short again.

I don't really know much about the differences between different charges for assault and public disorder but apparently affray carries a potential sentence of 3 years in prison. I'm not sure it was particularly likely to have been a lot worse than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
