England coach Trevor Bayliss has no plans to strip Ben Stokes of the vice-captaincy following the firebrand's latest indiscretion, while the Australian admits he may need to look at introducing an Ashes curfew.
Stokes was included in England's 16-man squad for the five-Test series that starts in Brisbane on November 23.
The 26-year-old fractured a bone in his right hand amid a Bristol bar scrap that left a man hospitalised with facial injuries.
Stokes was arrested then released without charge early on Monday morning. Inquiries - from England's cricket board and the police - are ongoing.
"A few of the guys being out in the middle of a series was very unprofessional," Bayliss told Sky Sports.

Bayliss, a former NSW and Sydney Sixers coach, indicated England will "be looking into" the merits of a curfew in response to the incident.
"I've been with teams before when we've had curfews and that doesn't work," Bayliss said.
"Whichever way you go about it, a lot of the responsibility comes back onto the players - they're adults."
England ODI and Twenty20 skipper Eoin Morgan admits they still need to address their policy on player behaviour off the field.
"It's never been an area of concern in the past," he said.
"We've always policed it ourselves, (but) it's something we're going to look into towards the future - in light of what's happened - because we need to look after each other as a team.
"It's not a case of individuals going separate ways. We all normally stick together, so we'll have to put something in place that doesn't leave us in the position we are at the moment."
