#2 Ben Stokes
Following a late night brawl in Bristol, Ben Stokes was charged with affray after CCTV footage surfaced in which Stokes could be clearly seen punching a man repeatedly. In the aftermath of this incident, the all-rounder had to sit out of the entire Ashes followed by the ODI and T20I series against Australia.
The ECB granted Stokes permission to play for England only after the 26-year-old pleaded ‘not guilty’ before the court. He made a comeback for his national side in the ODI series against New Zealand.
