London: England all-rounder Ben Stokes yesterday lambasted an English daily for publishing details about his personal life and family, terming the act as "utterly disgusting" and the "lowest form of journalism".

The Sun revealed Stokes's brother and sister were killed by his mother's ex, three years before the England cricketer's birth. Stokes said the newspaper article deals with "deeply personal and traumatic events" that affected his New Zealand-based family more than 30 years ago, according to a BBC report. The Sun told the BBC it had received the co-operation of a family member. In a statement on Twitter, Stokes alleged the report had "serious inaccuracies which has compounded the damage caused".
