## Resource

Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson are suspended for the second Test after breaking curfew and allegedly being involved in a scuffle with security — a situation that’s shaken the squad and left coach Brendon McCullum shifting from confusion to concern, especially for Stokes. This isn’t the first off-field incident: Brook got punched, players were seen drinking in Australia, and despite management’s earlier denials, a strict midnight curfew is now in place. McCullum is personally checking on Stokes, prioritizing his well-being over immediate decisions about captaincy. Joe Root takes over as skipper, while Jofra Archer returns and Jordan Cox and Sonny Baker debut. England leads the series 1-0 — but right now, it’s all about supporting the players, especially Stokes, as the team navigates this rocky moment.
