ECB announces men’s central contracts for 2020/21 season

ECB announces men’s central contracts for 2020/21 season

London, Sep 30 (UNI) The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) on Wednesday announced their central contracts for men's test and white ball cricket for 2020/21 season.
The selectors awarded 12 Test, 12 white-ball, four incremental contracts and three fast-bowling development contracts.
Kent’s Zak Crawley, Surrey’s Ollie Pope and Warwickshire’s Dom Sibley all receive Test Central Contracts for the first time off the back of a 12-month period in which all three scored their maiden Test centuries.
Surrey all-rounder Tom Curran was progressed to a white ball central contract, having been in possession of an increment contract for 2019/20.
Of those who missed out, Jonny Bairstow was not been included in the list of 12 Test players, after losing his place in the side last winter, while Joe Denly, who had a white-ball contract last year, has not had that deal renewed.
Dom Bess, Chris Jordan, Dawid Malan and Jack Leach received incremental contracts after their performances for England across formats in the past year, with Saqib Mahmood, Olly Stone and Craig Overton retaining their pace bowling deals.
'Recipients of Test Central Contracts and White Ball Central Contracts have their salaries paid in full by the ECB,' the board said in a statement.
'Under the structure, players in both formats receive a ‘ranking’ based on their performances on the pitch, as well as a number of other factors, including off-field contribution, fielding and fitness. Those rankings then correlate with the level of remuneration,' it added.
