Stokes unlikely to face action after clash with Labuschagne
The Guardian
|January 06, 2026
It was hard to know whether it was a message to Australia or his own bowlers. Ben Stokes signed off from a frustrating second evening in Sydney by swapping words out in the middle with Marnus Labuschagne.
Ben Stokes (left) and Marnus Labuschagne had much to discuss.
Seemingly reacting to something said by Labuschagne as the hosts made a rapid reply to England's 384, Stokes was heard saying "shut the fuck up" at the end of the over he had just bowled. He then walked over and put an arm around his opponent's shoulder to continue the exchange.
As the umpires, Ahsan Raza and Chris Gaffaney, moved in, Stokes walked away after giving Labuschagne a squeeze. As per the ICC code of conduct, the England captain could be reprimanded under clause 2.12 regarding "inappropriate physical contact".
It was fairly trivial, much like India's Akash Deep putting an arm around Ben Duckett after dismissing him at Edgbaston in August. That incident led to no further action, with Jeff Crowe, the ICC match referee here, probably deciding the same.
