Yahoo Sports reports: England captain Ben Stokes and teammate Gus Atkinson were dropped Wednesday from the squad for next week’s second cricket test against New Zealand while they are under investigation following an incident in a nightclub. With Stokes unavailable, Joe Root — a former England captain — will lead the team at The Oval for the match that starts June 17. The England & Wales Cricket Board said Stokes and Atkinson “have not been made available for selection.”
