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 hot
But Stokes’ presence among a list of eight players on traditional one-year contracts is intriguing hot

At the other end of the age spectrum 41-year-old James Anderson has another annual retainer and 35-year-old Dawid Malan returns to the list after missing out in 2022 hot
Pace bowling development contracts have also been awarded to Matthew Fisher, Saqib Mahmood and the uncapped John Turner hot
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 hot
After missing out on the World Cup squad, his international career appears to be over hot
David Willey is the only member of the current World Cup squad not to feature hot
Also absent are Surrey’s highly-rated Will Jacks, a hard-hitting, bowling all-rounder capped in all three formats in the past year, Olly Stone and the Overton twins Craig and Jamie hot
Rob Key, managing director of England men’s cricket, said: “We are rewarding those players who we expect to make a significant impact over the coming years playing for England hot
“It is great news and a credit to the players for demonstrating their commitment to English cricket in the ever-changing landscape of the sport hot
“I would like to congratulate all the players who have been offered contracts hot
