see i read it differently - I read it as suspended until a police charge (if any is issued). ECB can't be seen not suspending players if they get arrested, they've done just that. if they don't get charged the ECB will still be expected to punish Stokes and Hales. and i'd expect either a very hefty fine or even exclusion from selection for some time.
In laymans terms. either 6 month suspension or a couple months fine and a couple of games banned? I honestly and clearly haven't got a clue. Hope it's the latter though
