London: Former England captain Michael Vaughan has said that whatever the outcome of the Ben Stokes case, the all-rounder has let himself down.

“I am all for players having a bit of downtime,” Vaughan told the BBC. “In the world of cricket, with the players travelling all the time, you do need a bit of downtime, but he (Stokes) has to look himself in the mirror.

“He can have as many talks from the England management, from his wife and his agent, but he has got to understand now what he’s doing and what he’s been involved in the last few days,” Vaughan added.

“I just don’t understand why he would want to be in a bar at 2:30 in the morning on the Monday, before a game on the Wednesday. “He is putting himself in a place where he is a target. He is a very famous person these days.” (AGENCIES)
