(UTV|COLOMBO) – England all-rounder Ben Stokes has signed for New Zealand side Canterbury.
Stokes, 26, was arrested in September on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm following an incident in Bristol.
The England and Wales Cricket Board have made him unavailable to play for England and will not review that stance until a decision has been made on whether to charge him.
That will not be taken for several weeks, so he seems unlikely to play in the Ashes series against Australia.
However, he is not barred from playing domestic cricket in any country.
