The ECB has awarded Moeen Ali another white-ball contract for the 12 month period from October 1 2020.
The Worcestershire CCC all-rounder has been a regular part of England’s squads in ODI and T20I cricket throughout the summer.
Moeen played in three ODIs versus Ireland – when he was named vice-captain – and three T20Is against Pakistan before being part of the squad to face Australia.
The Rapids official Vitality Blast captain took part in three T20Is, and one of the ODIs.
In total, the 33-year-old has participated in 106 ODIs and 34 T20s since making his England breakthrough six and a half years ago.
The selectors have awarded 12 Test Central Contracts and 12 White Ball Central Contracts, as well as four Increment Contracts and three Pace Bowling Development Contracts.
Kent’s Zak Crawley, Surrey’s Ollie Pope and Warwickshire’s Dom Sibley all receive Test Central Contracts for the first time off the back of 12 months in which all three scored their maiden Test centuries.
Surrey all-rounder Tom Curran has progressed to a White Ball Central Contract, having had an Increment Contract for 2019/20.
Recipients of Test Central Contracts and White Ball Central Contracts have their salaries paid in full by the ECB.
Under the structure, players in both formats receive a ‘ranking’ based on their performances on the pitch, as well as several other factors, including off-field contribution, fielding and fitness. Those rankings then correlate with the level of remuneration.
In light of the impact of COVID-19 on the finances of the game, the Team England Player Partnership, on behalf of the players, and the ECB are currently finalising the levels of player remuneration for the next 12 months. A further statement will be made once these discussions have concluded.
