Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson were unavailable for the second Test against New Zealand pending an investigation into an incident in a London nightclub.
Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson have been withdrawn from their County Championship fixtures in the clearest indication yet they will be available to play for England in the third Test against New Zealand.
Captain Stokes and pace bowler Atkinson were made unavailable for the second Test, which started on Wednesday, pending an investigation into an incident in a London nightclub.
But both were permitted to play domestic cricket, with Stokes turning out for Durham and Atkinson for Surrey in the first two days of matches that began on Friday.
They have been withdrawn before day three, meaning Stokes will play no further part in Durham's match at home to Northamptonshire and Atkinson has left Surrey's game at Glamorgan.
