The ever-present Stuart Broad is joined by Olly Stone on England Men’s contract list for the 2022-23 period.

Broad, who was first awarded a central contract in 2008, is named on the Three Lions’ list for the 15th year running, one short of his new ball partner James Anderson.

The 36-year-old was England’s leading wicket taker during the home summer, surpassing Glenn McGrath on the all-time Test list to move up to fifth spot overall.

Not content with his national exploits, Broad was also integral in Nottinghamshire’s LV= Insurance Division Two title triumph, taking 16 wickets at 20.81, including match figures of 5-66 having returned to the side for the title clinching victory over Durham.

Stone, meanwhile, is one of six players to be handed a Pace Bowling Development Contract.

The 29-year-old, who signed for the Green and Golds in July ahead of the 2023 season on a three-year deal, is joined by Craig and Jamie Overton, Matthew Fisher, Saqib Mahmood and Brydon Carse.

Surrey wicketkeeper Ben Foakes and Lancashire batter Liam Livingstone are the two new recipients of England Annual Central Contract offers, whilst Harry Brook, Matthew Potts and Reece Topley are offered England Increment deals, their first Central Contracts.

Managing Director of England Men’s Cricket, Rob Key, said: "I feel we have rewarded those players who have made a significant impact over the previous 12 months and those we expect to be part of England's plans over the next period.

"The international game continues to evolve, and we must be mindful that we have to lead the way in player performance across the sport. The aim is to develop world-class players in all three formats as we strive to become the best team in the world.

"I would like to congratulate all the players offered agreements for the coming year. They will all play a pivotal role in England's efforts over the next 12 months."
