Moeen Ali on Stokes Potentially Retiring & Why Playing For Yorkshire is Important!

Um, we're gonna discuss Ben Stokes and some other things that's been going on as well.

Uh, but reports are emerging that Ben Stokes is set to step down as England captain following reports of an altercation at a nightclub in Chelsea.

Uh, firstly what I wanna say is everything I'm saying here, I'm gonna tell you which paper it's come from, which news it's come from.

It's not from us.

Um, so we don't have confirmed reports yet.

But apparently there was a, a phys-- he got into a physical altercation with a Saracens Rugby league player.

Um, firstly, uh, Mo, before we jump into everything, there was talk about this curfew thing.

There was a curfew, he broke the curfew.

Did you have a curfew when you were playing? Or what does that look like for those that maybe don't know?

Um, a curfew generally, a curfew generally is after 12 o'clock.

But normally it's on the matchdays, um, the day of the match or the night of before the game.

Or, like, if you're building up to the game, couple of days, et cetera.

Um, but there wasn't always a curfew.

Um, when we-- especially when we played-- Probably when I first started I think there was a bit of a curfew, and then that was gone.

And for probably, like, 10 years straight we were pretty good generally.

Um, and yeah, there was-- I, I know this curfew probably come in recently, um, during the Ashes or after the Ashes.

Um, proper, like, curfew.

Um, but you don't know exactly what the details of the curfew is like.

If it is after the games or is it during the season, et cetera.

So we don't wanna jump to too many conclusions with that.

But generally matchdays and just before the game there is a curfew, yeah.

12 o'clock roughly.

So according to the Daily Telegraph, um, they're saying that an ECB source told the-- well, basically said that the cricketers were not the aggressors.

So we d- again, don't have the full details.

But, um, on this point of curfew and Ben Stokes potentially, and Jos Buttleton potentially breaking the curfew, if your captain breaks the curfew, and this is what a lot of the dialogue has been about, what does that sort of mean, or what does that look like for the rest of the team and the rest of the players?
