(UTV|COLOMBO) – England cricketer Ben Stokes has been charged with affray after a fight outside a Bristol nightclub.
The 26-year-old and two men from Bristol are due to appear before magistrates at a future date.
Police investigated the incident and sent their findings to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) in November.
Stokes missed the Ashes series, with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) saying he would not be considered for England “until further notice”.
After being charged, he said: “I am keen to have the opportunity to clear my name.”
A statement from the CPS said it received further material in late December.
