What is Ben Stokes: Phoenix from the Ashes about?
Everything. Stokes himself has said that he would only agree to a documentary if it showed every angle from the "good" to the "not-such-good stuff".
We can expect to be given a full tour of Stokes' life, from a young age with his family, through to his emergence in the England team and thrilling rise to the top.
Of course, Stokes' story is far from a smooth cruise to the England Test captaincy. He took an indefinite break from cricket to preserve his mental health, and this documentary looks set to cast light on his struggles and controversies, including his arrest, trial and acquittal following a fight outside a nightclub in 2018.
Stokes will walk viewers through his journey, spliced with some of the moments that have littered his comeback to all forms of international cricket.
