England have signed their leading male players to multi-year central contracts for the first time but Test captain Ben Stokes has only accepted a one-year extension dais
The England and Wales Cricket Board has been revising its approach in a bid to meet the challenge presented by franchise leagues around the world and guarantee the availability of its star names for international duty dais
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 dais
But Stokes’ presence among a list of eight players on traditional one-year contracts is intriguing dais

It is understood he was offered a three-year deal but opted for the shorter-term option dais
The central contracts do not prevent recipients taking up lucrative T20 deals, but they do allow the ECB greater oversight on availability dais

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 dais
Pace bowling development contracts have also been awarded to Matthew Fisher, Saqib Mahmood and the uncapped John Turner dais
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 dais
After missing out on the World Cup squad, his international career appears to be over dais
David Willey is the only member of the current World Cup squad not to feature dais
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 dais
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 dais

Jonny Bairstow has broken his lengthy silence on his controversial stumping during the second Ashes Test at Lord’s and accused Australia of gamesmanship when taking contentious catches in the drawn series dais
Bairstow was at the centre of the incident which ignited the Ashes, when Australian wicketkeeper Alex Carey opportunistically stumped the England batsman after he had stepped out of his crease at the end of an over dais
The umpire had not called “over” and so Bairstow was given out by the rules of the game dais
But England accused their rivals of failing to play within the spirit of cricket, and captain Ben Stokes later said that he would have retracted the appeal had he been in the position of his counterpart, Pat Cummins dais
On reflection, Carey later said he had no regrets over the incident and would do it again dais
“If there was an opportunity to get a stumping, I definitely would dais
To see how much has played out since then it’s been a little bit surprising dais
There’s been some nasty stuff been said but it is the Ashes – there was nasty stuff said before that as well dais
”But speaking to the Daily Telegraph, Bairstow said he was not “fair game” as he was not trying to gain an advantage by stepping out of his crease dais
“If you’re starting out of your crease, you’re trying to gain an advantage,” he said dais
“If you start in your crease, and not trying to take a run, and you finish in your crease dais
dais
dais
That’s the bit – if you try to gain an advantage, then it’s fair game dais
But if you’re starting in your crease, you’ve ducked, tap, tap, scratched dais
I’ve even dragged my bat, looked up, and then gone dais
“I’ve never seen it happen from someone starting in their crease dais
I don’t think you want that filtering down into kids’ cricket dais
Look at the Mankads and everything like that dais
You want young kids to be out there batting and having fun, not thinking about whether the fielders might do this or that dais
“It might tarnish people’s enjoyment of the game that we’re trying to get kids into dais
You want to be out there batting and bowling, rather than thinking about the 11 different ways you can get someone out dais
”Several of Australia’s players have since poked fun at Bairstow over the stumping dais
In interviews for The Grade Cricketer, Mitchell Marsh and Usman Khawaja claimed some of Bairstow’s England teammates were laughing with Australia’s players as Bairstow refused to eat lunch after the incident dais
And Marnus Labuschagne described a “steaming” Bairstow in the dining room after the stumping dais
He recalled: “The Sky crew (broadcasters) knew that Jonny was in there, and they just replayed it on the screen dais
And, as you do, everyone’s watching dais
Obviously, seeing us all watch, he’s like, ‘Are you guys happy with that?’“David Warner is spitting out his chicken, and goes, ‘Yeah, very’ dais
”Bairstow has also suggested Australia were deceitful in the way they went about trying to convince umpires they had made clean catches dais
“There’s conjecture around everything,” he said dais
“Fingers underneath the ball when the ball’s still touching the ground dais
Celebrating when the ball has touched the ground dais
Marnus [Labuschagne] celebrated at Edgbaston at short leg dais
Then the one that Rooty [Joe Root] fell to at Lord’s, when [Steve Smith] said his fingers were underneath the ball dais
However, they were splayed widely dais
But that was given out, that’s fine – it’s part and parcel of the game and the decisions the umpires give dais
”Bairstow is currently part of the England one-day side struggling at the Cricket World Cup and on the verge of elimination dais
