Ben Stokes returns to training with Durham after being omitted from England’s second Test against New Zealand. The change follows a nightclub incident that leaves Stokes unable to play the match. Multiple reports say the England captain is back with his county team as he resumes normal training activity. The outlets state that Stokes’ England absence is directly linked to the nightclub incident and that, in the interim, he has continued his recovery or preparation through his Durham arrangements rather than preparing with the national squad. The reports do not provide further details about the incident or the duration of any consequences beyond the Test omission. They also do not specify his immediate availability for future matches. Overall, the coverage focuses on Stokes’ return to county training and the connection between the incident and his absence from the second Test against New Zealand.
