The England national cricket team is dealing with serious player availability issues and disciplinary problems before their second Test match against New Zealand.

英格蘭國家板球隊在與紐西蘭進行第二場測試賽前，正處於嚴重的球員可用性問題與紀律問題中。

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has started a formal investigation because captain Ben Stokes and bowler Gus Atkinson broke team rules. Specifically, they broke a midnight curfew after the first Test victory at Lord's. Both players were at a nightclub where a security guard was reportedly hit by a rugby player. As a result, both athletes will miss the second Test at The Oval. Although the ECB denied that Stokes was asked to resign, Managing Director Rob Key emphasized that the captain's future depends on the results of the investigation. However, the ECB has allowed both players to continue playing in domestic County Championship matches.

英格蘭及威爾斯板球總會 (ECB) 已啟動正式調查，因為隊長 Ben Stokes 與投球手 Gus Atkinson 違反了球隊規定。具體而言，他們在 Lord's 第一場測試賽獲勝後，違反了午夜宵禁。兩名球員當時在一家夜總會，據報導一名保全被一名橄欖球員擊傷。因此，兩位運動員將缺席在 The Oval 舉行的第二場測試賽。儘管 ECB 否認 Stokes 被要求辭職，但總經理 Rob Key 強調，隊長的未來取決於調查結果。然而，ECB 允許兩名球員繼續參加國內的郡冠軍賽。

At the same time, the squad is facing medical problems. Ollie Robinson, who was the Player of the Match in the first Test, is having scans for knee pain caused during training. To solve this problem, the ECB has called up Henry Crocombe, a Sussex bowler who has not yet played for the national team. Because Stokes is unavailable, Joe Root has been named interim captain, while Jofra Archer and Jordan Cox have also joined the squad to ensure the team has enough players.

與此同時，球隊面臨醫療問題。在第一場測試賽中獲得最佳球員的 Ollie Robinson，正因訓練期間導致的膝蓋疼痛進行掃描。為了解決這個問題，ECB 徵召了 Sussex 的投球手 Henry Crocombe，他尚未為國家隊出賽。由於 Stokes 無法出賽，Joe Root 被任命為臨時隊長，而 Jofra Archer 與 Jordan Cox 也加入了球隊，以確保球隊有足夠的人數。

Outside the team, some experts have criticized how the ECB manages its players. Former player Graeme Swann argued that curfews for professional adults are unnecessary and can actually damage team culture. Furthermore, Swann suggested that the intense focus on the players' private lives is caused by media companies seeking profit rather than a genuine concern for the sport.

在球隊之外，一些專家批評 ECB 管理球員的方式。前球員 Graeme Swann 認為，對成年專業人士實施宵禁是不必要的，且實際上可能損害球隊文化。此外，Swann 建議，媒體公司為了獲利而過度關注球員的私生活，而非出於對這項運動的真正關心。

England will start the second Test with fewer players and an uncertain leadership situation while they wait for the ECB's final decision.

英格蘭將在球員較少且領導層不確定的情況下開始第二場測試賽，同時等待 ECB 的最終決定。
