Stokes and Atkinson stay despite written warnings as England shuffle Trent Bridge squad

England keeps Stokes and Atkinson in the third Test squad after written warnings, while Robinson and Smith return and Baker and Rew drop out.

Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson aren't going anywhere. Both received written warnings ahead of England's third Test at Trent Bridge, but they're staying in the squad. Ollie Robinson and Jamie Smith are back in. Sonny Baker and James Rew are out.

CricHubb Take

England's choosing to discipline without exile — a signal that mid-series rotation matters more than making examples. Question is whether Stokes and Atkinson see the warning as a tap on the wrist or a real threshold.
