Good on him, but I would hope the reason he did it wasn't purely to make the papers....

Doubt it was. He's pretty good with community stuff, it's just a shame the press never mentioned it when they tried to ruin him

BBC, Chronicle and Cricket World are all running it. Don't think Ben's too bothered either way but it can't do any harm with his FTECB disciplinary hearing coming up next month.

Good on yer Ben lad.

Just need a quick fire 50 in next innings please.

Ben Stokes: Durham and England all-rounder helps fund under-16s Dubai trip

It's on the cricket homepage but let's be honest it won't be headline news anywhere because nobody other than Durham fans will really be that bothered. Good on him though, great gesture.

Edit: should have read @Parkside's post first
