England cricket chief Andrew Strauss has slapped a curfew on the Ashes squad, restricting the players from going out after midnight, in the wake of Jonny Bairstow's alleged headbutt on Australian batsman Cameron Bancroft earlier this month. Strauss has also backed his players over the accusations of drinking culture in the team that emerged after the arrest of vice-captain Ben Stokes in Bristol street brawl incident. 'These guys are not thugs,' Strauss said.
