Burglary-hit cricket ace Ben can ask for gong to be replaced

- JEREMY ARMSTRONG

CRICKETER Ben Stokes will get a replacement for his OBE that was snatched by masked raiders, it was revealed yesterday.

The gang struck while his wife and children were at their £1.7million home but the cricketer was away on tour in Pakistan.

But the all-rounder will be able to order another gong for as little as £150 after the original, awarded in 2020, was grabbed, the Cabinet Office confirmed.
