Ben Stokes had missed the second Test at Lord's due to the court case.
All-rounder Ben Stokes, who was deemed not guilty of affray charges by a Bristol court on Tuesday, has subsequently been added to the England squad for the third Test starting on Saturday in Nottingham.
Owing to this court case, Stokes had missed the second Test at Lord's, which England won by an innings and 159 runs to take a 2-0 series' lead.
The all-rounder had played a handsome role in the first Test in Birmingham. He had a match haul of 6-113 across two innings as India lost by 31 runs.
The England team management now face a selection headache, as his replacement Chris Woakes had scored a maiden Test hundred at Lord's as also taking four wickets in the match.
Stokes could be picked in the team in place of spinner Adil Rashid who didn't have much to do in the second test match.
'Stokes in tears'
Stokes was arrested following a brawl accusation with two men outside a nightclub in Bristol.
The 27-year-old, who was calm during the proceeding, shut his eyes for a moment after the pronouncement of the verdict and his wife, on the other hand, broke down in tears, ESPNcricinfo.com reported.
Stokes was accused to have bullied two homosexual men and punching Ryan Ali and Ryan Hale outside a nightclub.
Ali, who was also accused of same charges as Stokes, was also declared non-guilty by the court.
During the hearing, Stokes admitted to have punched Ali and Hale but insisted that all his actions were in self-defence. The argument was accepted by the court which ultimately led to his acquittal.
Stokes had to miss five Test matches, seven ODIs and four T20Is following his involvement in the incident.
Meanwhile, the ECB will set up a Cricket Discipline Commission that will take stock of Stokes' involvement in this physical altercation outside a Bristol pub last year.
He, along with teammate Alex Hales, could yet be fined and suspended, however it will be some time before that conclusion can be reached.
England squad: Joe Root (c), Alastair Cook, Keaton Jennings, Olliver Pope, Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler, Sam Curran, Chris Woakes, Adil Rashid, James Anderson, Stuart Broad, Moeen Ali, Jamie Porter, Ben Stokes.
