England’s World Cup-winning hero, Ben Stokes, took to Instagram to thank his family members for their support in what he termed as “a summer to remember”.
Stokes played a pivotal role as the Eoin Morgan-led England registered their maiden World Cup triumph in the fifty-overs cricket in July.
The allrounder then played one of the finest Test innings, scoring an unbeaten 135, as England sealed a stunning one-wicket win over Australia in the third Ashes Test at Headingley.
