England star Ben Stokes' inclusion for the Ashes tour of Australia was under renewed scrutiny after The Sun newspaper published video footage purporting to show him engaged in a street brawl.
The Test vice-captain was included in England's 16-man Ashes squad led by skipper Joe Root announced earlier Wednesday, despite injuring his hand in the incident that led to his arrest in Bristol on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm.
Stokes, 26, was released without charge on Monday, but remains under investigation. In the video posted by The Sun, which headlined its front-page splash 'Hit for Six', Stokes appears to be fighting with two men, one of whom is holding a bottle. "We have seen this footage for the first time tonight -- when posted by The Sun," said the England and Wales Cricket Board.
