England were criticised for their off-field conduct during the 4-1 defeat in Australia, particularly a boozy mid-series holiday to the coastal town of Noosa.<\/p>\n

In the aftermath of the trip to Noosa, a video of Ben Duckett was posted on social media, with the opener appearing to be intoxicated.<\/p>\n

Director of cricket Rob Key investigated the time in Noosa, but denied the team had a drinking culture.<\/p>\n

At the end of the Ashes series in January, details of the incident involving Brook in October were revealed.<\/p>\n

Brook initially claimed to have been alone at the nightclub in Wellington, only for it to emerge that he was alongside team-mates Jacob Bethell and Josh Tongue.<\/a><\/p>\n

The midnight curfew was first imposed for the limited-overs tour of Sri Lanka in January and the T20 World Cup that followed, both when Brook was captain.<\/p>\n

It has remained in place for the start of the Test summer, when Stokes, 35, has returned to lead the side.<\/p>\n

After the conclusion of England’s win at Lord’s on Sunday, Stokes said: “I’m not going to lie, I’m very, very happy that we’ve won this week. I knew how big this game was in terms of the result and how it was going to be perceived externally if it didn’t go well.<\/p>\n

“I won’t be really happy until I get to share a beer with the boys.”<\/p>\n

In 2017, Stokes was involved in an incident outside a Bristol nightclub that resulted in him being charged with affray.<\/p>\n

He subsequently missed the Ashes tour of 2017-18 before he was cleared of the charge the following summer.<\/p>\n

England are due to name a squad for the second Test against New Zealand at The Oval, beginning on 17 June.<\/p>\n

But the result of the investigation could have an impact on the squad, including the possible omission of Stokes and Atkinson.<\/p>\n

Atkinson, 28, took seven wickets in the match, including 5-30 in the second innings as England completed a 115-run win.<\/p>\n

Stokes, however, suffered a frustrating Test with the bat – scoring 12 in his first innings before a three-ball duck in the second. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
