The Hindu  

Ben Stokes and other members of England’s Cricket World Cup-winning squad have been recognised in Britain’s New Year’s Honors List, which also highlighted trailblazers in women’s sport. He scored an unbeaten 84 as England became the ICC World Cup champion by beating New Zealand in final in July, and followed it up six weeks later with a match-winning 135 not out in the third Ashes Test at Headingley. Manchester City footballer Jill Scott, part of the England squad which reached the semifinals of the Women’s World Cup in France earlier this year, received an MBE — Member of the Order of the British Empire — as do England netball stars Serena Guthrie and Joanne Harten. In golf, former major winner Catriona Matthew was awarded an OBE after captaining Europe to a Solheim Cup win over the U.S. Apart from the honor for Stokes, Eoin Morgan, who captained England at the World Cup, has been made a CBE, Commander of the Order of the British Empire, while wicketkeeper Jos Buttler and test skipper Joe Root both got MBEs.
