Stokes’ future as Test captain is uncertain with England head coach Brendon McCullum not offering any guarantees when he faced the media on Monday.

But Stokes has the full backing of Australian Campbell, who has been unimpressed at how his player has been treated since news of the incident in a London nightclub emerged last week.

“Ben knows he made a mistake and broke the curfew, but some of the reaction has been a little over,” Campbell added.

“I’m a bit old school, I like a beer after a game of cricket if you’ve got 10 days off but I’m not the coach, I don’t run that system.”

Stokes played two county games for Durham in the run-up to the New Zealand series and Campbell has already suggested he has a “75% chance” of featuring against Northants.

With his availability for the third Test at Trent Bridge, starting on 25 June, uncertain, the four-day Championship game could be Stokes’ last red-ball cricket before the Test series with Pakistan in mid-August.

“Ben is a competitor and he loves to play and he wants to play,” Campbell mentioned. “He put his hand up and mentioned he made a mistake.

“From what I’ve seen, he’s in good spirits, he’s back in training, working hard and the rest will take care of itself.”
