Stokes was arrested last month after an incident on a night out in Bristol following a one-day international, and released without charge, but remains under police investigation. "We've just got to sit tight and wait," Root told reporters about when or whether that will happen. England play a first warm-up match in Perth on Nov. 4 with the first test starting on Nov. 23 in Brisbane. Paceman Steve Finn was added following the police investigation into Stokes and there are three uncapped players in the party: fast bowler Craig Overton, leg-spinner Mason Crane and deputy wicketkeeper Ben Foakes. "I look everyone in the eye and they're all very keen to get out there and detrmined to win and come home successful," Root added.
