England's Harry Brook, Joe Root and Mark Wood have been handed three-year central contracts as part of a new multi-year system, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said on Tuesday.
England test captain Ben Stokes received a one-year deal, while his white-ball counterpart Jos Buttler was given a two-year contract.
"Multi-year contracts have been awarded for the first time since central contracts were established in 2000. Brook, 24, is among seven players to have been given a central contract for the first time along with Rehan Ahmed, Gus Atkinson, Brydon Carse, Ben Duckett, Matthew Potts and Josh Tongue - who have all got two-year contracts.
"It is great news and a credit to the players for demonstrating their commitment to English cricket in the ever-changing landscape of the sport."
