The system, which encompasses both red-ball and white-ball cricket, considers the likelihood of players being selected for England teams across formats over the next period, while also taking into account their performances over the past year.

Rob Key, managing director of England men’s cricket, said, "This year’s central contract group reflects the depth and strength of talent we have across England Men’s cricket. We have awarded two-year deals to our multi-format players, so we can manage their workloads responsibly and give them the stability they need to perform across formats.

"We have also secured a number of white-ball players on longer agreements to help us plan effectively around the growing franchise calendar and ensure England remains their priority. This structure allows us to support our players properly while maintaining strong squads across all formats as much as possible."
