Jofra Archer has retained his England central contract, with the fast bowler nearing a return from injury after last playing international cricket in March 2021. But opener Jason Roy has been downgraded to an increment deal after being dropped for the upcoming T20 World Cup.
England have awarded 18 annual central contracts, with Liam Livingstone and Ben Foakes two new recipients. Livingstone has been upgraded to a central contract after becoming a key member of England's white ball sides, while Foakes has been rewarded for establishing himself as the first-choice wicketkeeper in Test cricket.
Harry Brook and Matthew Potts, who both made their England debuts this year, have been awarded increment contracts. Reece Topley has also been rewarded with an increment deal after his successful return to international cricket, while David Willey is back on the list after missing out last year.
