SYDNEY: England all-rounder Ben Stokes has been included in England´s squad for their one-day series against Australia, with coach Trevor Bayliss bracing for "a circus" if he is cleared to play.
Stokes was banned from international cricket as British authorities probed his alleged involvement in a late-night fight outside a Bristol nightclub, and it remained in doubt whether he would play.
Batsman Alex Hales, who was caught up in the same fracas, was also named in the 16-man squad for the five-game series, starting in Melbourne on January 14.
