England have revealed new behavioural guidelines for their players.
The news comes after Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson were suspended due to a nightclub incident.
Stokes and Atkinson had broken a midnight curfew installed by England after drinking episodes had plagued their winter tours. They went on to miss the heavy second Test defeat to New Zealand at The Kia Oval but returned for the decider after the ECB cleared them of any wrongdoing.
Captain Stokes subsequently dramatically retired from international cricket.
The guidelines, as first reported by The Telegraph, confirm there is a midnight curfew in place, that players cannot appear under the influence of alcohol in public and players must inform management if they are out of the hotel after 10pm.
The guidelines have been signed off by ECB managing director Rob Key.
