• ECB responds after details emerged about Whatsapp group
Joe Clarke and Tom Kohler-Cadmore, two promising young batsmen, have been stood down from the England Lions tour to India that departs Saturday in light of details that emerged during the trial of their former Worcestershire teammate Alex Hepburn.
Hepburn, an Australian-born second XI player, had contested two counts of rape at Worcester crown court this week but is now facing the prospect of a retrial in April after the jury failed to deliver a majority verdict on Friday following nine hours of deliberations.
