London, Sep 18: England all-rounder Ben Stokes, who has been made to revive the past horrors and traumatic events about his family after an English daily published ran a story, has found support from the country's cricket board.

Stokes, who was England's hero in World Cup 2019 which they won in dramatic fashion, on Tuesday slammed the daily for publishing details about his personal life and family. The 28-year-old said the newspaper article, which has "serious inaccuracies", deals with deeply personal and traumatic events that affected his New Zealand-based family more than 30 years ago.
