The ECB have also approved a formal request for a ‘No Objection Certificate’ [NOC] to allow Hales to play in the inaugural T20 cricket league in Dubai later in the month.

Stokes was granted a NOC last month and he signed for New Zealand side Canterbury, where he made his debut at the weekend.

He made his international debut in 2011 and has since played 11 Tests and 101 one-day fixtures.
