Test captain Ben Stokes remains committed to England long-term despite turning down a three-year contract, says managing director Rob Key.
Key said Stokes did so because he feels he can negotiate a better deal next year when a new cycle of broadcast rights starts."All he talks about is being completely committed to playing for England and also captaining that Test team - planning for India, planning for the Ashes, planning for West Indies and Sri Lanka next summer.England announced their first multi-year contracts on Tuesday, deals which are seen as a way to ward off interest in players from franchise leagues.
Fast bowler Jofra Archer, despite his injury issues, and spinner Adil Rashid, 35, are among those on two-year deals, which also includes limited-overs captain Jos Buttler and Jonny Bairstow. Also on two-year deals are Test opener Zak Crawley, batter Ollie Pope, plus all-rounders Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone and Chris Woakes.
