Stokes's farewell address to the England dressing room, in which he announced his retirement during the fourth day's play of last month's final Test against New Zealand, is understood to have attracted the attention of the world governing body.
The video was released on England's social media channels and later broadcast on TV, but under the ICC's anti-corruption minimum standards there are restrictions on filming inside dressing rooms without prior approval.
It is understood the ICC wrote to the England and Wales Cricket Board, but the matter has now been resolved.
England captain Stokes had returned for the third Test after missing the second match of the series following an off-field incident.
His retirement announcement on the fourth day came as a surprise. It was made public while Stokes was bowling, and he took a wicket with the very next ball.
England went on to lose the match and the series 2-1 the following day.
