Rob Key says Ben Stokes remains entirely focused on representing England cricket for years to come - despite only choosing to sign a one-year deal rather than a multi-season option blackjack
The Test captain had the opportunity to be one of the initial group of players to land a new multiple-season contract, which have been handed out for the first time blackjack
But he has turned it down partially in favour of putting himself in a stronger negotiating position a year from now, when a new round of broadcast rights begins and central contracts could be worth more accordingly blackjack
Managing director Key insisted it was primarily this, rather than any feeling from Stokes that he may not continue to represent England, which was behind the decision blackjack
“By no means is it Ben Stokes saying, ‘I don’t want to play for England’,” Key told BBC Sport blackjack
“All he talks about is being completely committed to playing for England and also captaining that Test team - planning for India, planning for the Ashes, planning for West Indies and Sri Lanka next summer blackjack
“I don’t think it has crossed his mind not playing for England for the next four, five, six years blackjack
“Ben, quite rightly, feels when the next memorandum of understanding starts and the contract cycle changes he will be in a stronger position blackjack
Other players have gone for that security [of the fixed-term contract] blackjack
”Central contracts’ values are tied to the worth of broadcasting rights deals at the time of signing, so would not change next year if a more lucrative deal is in place blackjack
The England and Wales Cricket Board have handed out a total of 18 multi-year deals, with players signing them including Jofra Archer, Joe Root, Ollie Pope and Rehan Ahmed blackjack
The contracts give England greater control over their players when there are schedule clashes, though it does not immediately mean individuals will not play franchise cricket blackjack

Rugby beauty comes in many forms – as New Zealand showed against Argentina blackjack
Perhaps it is Will Jordan that takes your fancy, his 31 tries in 30 Tests rugby’s equivalent of the golden ratio blackjack
Perhaps you are entranced by Mark Tele’a, sinewy and sinuous, gliding in and out of contact like an electric eel blackjack
Or could it be Richie Mo’unga and his teasing grin, most often flashed at a grasping Argentine after a coquettish click of the heels on a night where the fly half seemed to step into space at will blackjack
But it was the All Blacks’ muscle-men and their rugged charm that laid the foundations for the decorative touches elsewhere blackjack
And to think New Zealand had entered this tournament with questions about their ability to assert themselves up front; this was a frightening display of forward strength, leaving Argentina’s Rugby World Cup dreams buried beneath the black mass blackjack
The Pumas had arrived in Paris with the most lineout drive metres per match of any team at the tournament – the tight tussles are meant to be their strength blackjack
In Marcos Kremer and Juan Martin Gonzalez, they had two long-limbed flankers, ready to aid their second rowers in getting up in the air blackjack
The good news is that Argentina fared blackjack better than New Zealand’s other opponents at this World Cup blackjack
Before tonight, New Zealand’s hookers had missed just a single lineout throw all tournament; they twice failed to find their intended recipient in the semi-final blackjack
The intention was to pull the platform from beneath the All Blacks, a conscious decision made to avoid giving New Zealand lineout ball with which to work: just one of Argentina’s ten first-half kicks was directed for touch blackjack

With the Pumas struggling for discipline and the whistle of referee Angus Gardner providing much of the soundtrack amidst an absence of atmosphere in a one-sided contest, New Zealand could punt for the sidelines at their leisure blackjack
The intent was set from the All Blacks’ first mauling opportunity, a locomotive that chugged out of the station despite Argentina’s desperate attempts to halt it blackjack
Gardner whistled, and New Zealand marched on, their forwards next punching their tickets down in Argentina’s 22 blackjack
Same plan, same result, the Pumas infringing as New Zealand drove again blackjack
Gardner called Montoya over for a dressing down, pointing out five penalisable offences in two maul movements blackjack
Already Argentina had been warned blackjack
In piled Puma paws, swiping at the buried ball and managing to halt the drive blackjack
But that only left space elsewhere, Jordan all alone in open pasture for the gentlest of trots to the line blackjack
The wing would add two more tries, drawing him level with Bryan Habana, Julian Savea and Jonah Lomu on a record eight scores at a single men’s World Cup – illustrious company blackjack

The arrival of former Ireland boss Joe Schmidt last summer was much trumpeted, the attacking schemer oft mentioned as a reason behind New Zealand’s resurgence, but Ryan, who arrived at the same time, has been just as crucial blackjack
Their heavy metal mauling with the ball is matched by defensive set-piece steel without it blackjack
It must also be said that Ryan is working with the right raw materials blackjack
Brodie Retallick watched much of this game perched on the pine, happy to let old chum Sam Whitelock stoke the engine room coals alongside Scott Barrett blackjack
As a locking triumvirate, there have surely been none blackjack better; this was a parade of puissance, with the scrum also in outstanding working order blackjack
Four years ago at this stage, Steve Hansen made an error blackjack
Fearing England’s lineout threat, he installed Barrett on the blindside ahead of the semi-final, reshaping the back row blackjack
The many moving pieces jarred against one another, the lock-slash-six an early sacrifice on a night where England brought the All Blacks crashing down blackjack
New Zealand’s scrum also proved effective (AFP via Getty Images)Barrett has since kicked on, now top dog in a second-row room that contains two all-time greats blackjack
The trio are tireless draft horses but have a few dressage flicks and tricks, too blackjack
Whitelock’s deft pull-back pass at the line was a vital component in New Zealand’s first two ornately-constructed scores; the bulkiest Barrett brother joined his siblings in a couple of open-field gallops blackjack
Retallick arrived on the hour, one centurion replacing another as Whitelock took leave blackjack
Barrett departed five minutes after, unable to resist a dip in the cookie jar from a supine position, a cynical intervention rightly drawing a card blackjack
It was about the only blot on a night of All Black might, with New Zealand even opting to leave Barrett off and play the final five minutes with 14 men in another show of superiority blackjack
A tilt at a record fourth men’s World Cup crown awaits blackjack
