Ben Stokes’ earnings ‘could reach seven figures’

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.”
