Ben Stokes’ earnings ‘could reach seven figures’

Available for over a year

Ben Stokes’ off-field earnings could reach at least £1m within the next 12 months, says sports marketing expert Nigel Currie. Stokes hit the fastest double century for England – and the second fastest in history - on day two of the second Test against South Africa in Cape Town. Currie says the achievement has “catapulted him right into the spotlight”. “His off-pitch earnings over the next 12 months could reach seven figures,” said Currie. “In terms of his charisma and his marketability…. Stokes seems to have it all.” Photo: Ben Stokes. Credit: Getty Images
