Ben Stokes Night Out Before Ashes Opener
England are currently trailing 0-2 in the ongoing Ashes series, and one of the reasons for this could be attributed to a non-cricketing incident. Ben Stokes, the England skipper, was seen out at a nightclub just four days before the Ashes opener, accompanied by Paul Collingwood and Carlton star Dale Thomas. Not only was Stokes drinking bottles of vodka, but he was also seen dancing around.
Thomas Details Night Out
Thomas shared the details of the night out on Triple M, saying, “I went out on the gas on Saturday night with Ben Stokes, Paul Collingwood, and the big left-hand opener, Graeme Smith, from South Africa. We had a vodka. Four days before the Ashes and Ben walks us into a nightclub – he, I, and a couple of others in the back booth, and he’s dancing around with bottles of vodka and having a good time.”
