England cricket captain Ben Stokes disclosed that masked burglars targeted his Castle Eden home during his national team's tour in Pakistan, while his family was present inside. The robbers made off with jewelry and irreplaceable personal items, including Stokes' OBE, a significant national honor.

The break-in occurred on October 17, coinciding with the third day of the second test between Pakistan and England in Multan. Stokes had just rejoined the team following an injury. Thankfully, his family remained unharmed physically, but they have been emotionally affected by the incident.

Stokes, wanting to aid the police in capturing the offenders, shared photographs of the stolen items publicly. Despite the theft of cherished possessions, his primary goal in going public was to ensure justice, not the recovery of the material items.
