The England and Wales Cricket Board has been revising its approach to central contracts to meet the challenge of franchise leagues.
Test captain Ben Stokes has accepted a one-year extension to his England deal while other leading players have signed multi-year central contracts .
Joe Root, Harry Brook and Mark Wood have all been tied to three-year deals, binding them to the cause until October 2026, while a further 15 players are on two-year arrangements.But Stokes’ presence among a list of eight players on traditional one-year contracts is intriguing.
Jason Roy, who terminated the remainder of his previous deal to play in the United States of American’s Major League Cricket earlier this year, is a notable omission. After missing out on the World Cup squad, his international career appears to be over. David Willey is the only member of the current World Cup squad not to feature.
