MOEEN Ali has been retained on a full England and Wales Cricket Board central contract for a further 12 months.

The Worcestershire all-rounder is one of 10 players awarded Test contracts and one of 11 handed white ball contracts as part of the new system agreed with the Team England Player Partnership (TEPP) and the Professional Cricketers’ Association.

Only Moeen, Chris Woakes, Joe Root and Ben Stokes have been awarded both contracts.

Test specialists and those playing in all forms of the game will have their salaries paid in full by the ECB.

Those on white ball contracts will receive their supplement on top of their County salary.

Under the new structure, players in both formats will receive a ‘ranking’ based on their performances on the pitch, as well as a number of other factors, including off-field contribution, fielding and fitness.

Director of England Cricket Andrew Strauss, said: “We believe the restructure of the central contract system will recognise the increased focus of the shorter format and the importance that we place on this as we continue our progress towards hosting the 2019 World Cup.

“It is undeniable that the introduction of central contracts in 2002 has greatly benefited the fortunes of the England Test team."

Moeen Ali (Worcestershire); James Anderson (Lancashire); Jonny Bairstow (Yorkshire); Stuart Broad (Nottinghamshire); Alastair Cook (Essex); Steven Finn (Middlesex); Joe Root (Yorkshire); Ben Stokes (Durham); Chris Woakes (Warwickshire); Mark Wood (Durham).
