Stokes, found not guilty of a charge of affray on Tuesday lunchtime, was not in the 13-man squad England announced the previous day to face India at Trent Bridge.
But within two hours of the end of the court case, the England and Wales Cricket Board issued a brief statement which read: "Ben Stokes will now join the England squad for the third Specsavers Test against India, which starts at Trent Bridge on Saturday."
A Cricket Discipline Commission investigation into the behaviour of Stokes and team-mate Alex Hales was put on hold while court proceedings took precedence.
But in its statement, the ECB confirmed that procedure will now resume.
It said: "Now that the legal proceedings have concluded, the disciplinary process for Ben Stokes and Alex Hales can be scheduled by the Cricket Discipline Commission.
"Ben Stokes will now join the England squad for the third Specsavers Test against India, which starts at Trent Bridge on Saturday.
"Considerable detail has been heard in this week-long court case and, in due course, there will be a range of matters for the Board to fully consider."
