Britain changed a triumphant side in front of the third Test against India at Trent Bridge by reviewing Ben Stokes only 72 hours after he was cleared on a charge of affray.

Stirs has for quite some time been England's head all-rounder and hours after his exoneration by a jury at Bristol Crown Court on Tuesday, he was added to a 13-man squad.

Having brought him back at the soonest opportunity, after Stokes missed England's innings and 159-run defeat of India at Lord's last week in light of a conflict with his court case, it was in every case likely he would play at Trent Bridge, where the third Test begins on Saturday.

Britain commander Joe Root affirmed his arrival on Friday, saying Stokes had been chosen instead of left-arm swing bowler Sam Curran as the hosts looked for a win that would give them an unassailable 3-0 lead in this five-coordinate arrangement.

Curran was precluded in spite of having inspired with both bat and ball in an arrangement where he was named man-of-the-coordinate after an inside and out exertion that incorporated a fifty and four wickets in England's 31-run win in the principal Test at Edgbaston — where Stokes additionally featured with the ball.

However, Curran was dependably in line to clear a path, given England's hesitance to drop Adil Rashid, their solitary master spinner, and in light of the fact that Chris Woakes — Stokes' substitution — scored a lady Test century and took key wickets at Lord's.
