England's selectors have added Dawid Malan to the One-Day International squad for the series against Australia, starting on 14 January.
Ben Stokes will not travel with the group of players leaving the UK on 2 January, pending CPS advice on the incident in Bristol in September.
Should ECB receive formal confirmation that he has either, a) been charged or, b) will face no charges, the ECB Board would convene within 48 hours to make a decision on his availability to represent England at that stage.
ECB can also confirm that Ben Stokes has been given approval to enter the IPL draft and granted a No Objection Certificate [NOC].
England’s squad for the triangular T20 tournament with Australia and New Zealand, starting on 3 February, will be confirmed next week and the squad for the Test series with New Zealand announced after the final Ashes Test.
