For most of the cricketers in the world, cricket is not the only income source in current times. Due to a growth in the number of T20 leagues in the world, a lot of players have refused to sign central contracts with the board and instead have gone on a freelancing spree playing in various T20 leagues. Some of the English players have also done the same.
Most of the current or former English player have their businesses or have made huge investments in various companies. Some have their chain of restaurants, and a few even have a brand of their own. Wicketkeeper-batter Ben Duckett owns a clothing brand called “Duckett’s Buckets”.
