ECB statement...
The pair will not be considered for selection, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has announced, after the governing body saw footage published by The Sun newspaper which allegedly shows Stokes throwing punches at two men.
"Each remains on full pay pending further ECB investigation and the ongoing police investigation into an incident in Bristol in the early hours of Monday September 25," said the ECB in a statement.
"Andrew Strauss, director of England Cricket, will today refer the internal disciplinary procedure for these two players to the Cricket Discipline Commission, chaired by Tim O'Gorman.
"These decisions, fully supported by ECB chairman Colin Graves, were made following the release of footage viewed by ECB for the first time on Wednesday."
