England test captain Ben Stokes was handed a two-year central contract on Tuesday that takes him through to a home Ashes series in 2027. Stokes was one of 14 players to have signed such a deal with the England and Wales Cricket Board, which has showed faith in the allrounder despite the injury issues that have limited his involvement in recent years. The 34-year-old Stokes has been test captain since 2022, when Brendon McCullum took over as coach.
