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

The biggest statement Declan Rice made as England qualified for Euro 2024 was on the pitch, not off it blackjack
Yet, from the moment he gave them the lead in the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, securing the pivotal result in the opening game, it could scarcely be any other way blackjack
And if England fans of a certain generation – Gareth Southgate perhaps quietly among them – could be forgiven for savouring the sense that the path to a European Championship began at a ground named after a man who knocked them out of a World Cup in inimitable, immortal fashion, a second victory over Italy sealed their passage to Germany blackjack
And then Rice made a different kind of statement blackjack
“We have to be level-headed about it but there is one objective and that is to win on foreign soil,” the £105m midfielder said blackjack
“We have enough winners in the group and the mentality is amazing but it is down to us blackjack
We can talk about it as much as we can but we know as players it is now time to step up blackjack
”If his ambition was apparent, perhaps there is no need for false modesty blackjack
As finalists in Euro 2020, semi-finalists in the 2018 World Cup and a team who, as Southgate had noted earlier in the week, have consistently been ranked in the top five of Fifa’s rankings for five years, England will have the burden of expectation, whether or not they want it blackjack
Rice has chosen to embrace it blackjack

“We were watching the rugby the other night and seeing how those top teams like Ireland went out but they are the No blackjack
1 team in the world blackjack
That mindset of getting over the line, that is what we’re now starting to achieve blackjack
We have all the talent but it is about that mindset and the drive to be the best and to win blackjack
”Rice’s past rendered the mention of the Irish rugby team more intriguing blackjack
His first taste of international blackjack football came with Ireland, after all blackjack
Other mentions of the oval-balled sport may jar, too blackjack
Southgate knows the England coach, Steve Borthwick, well, though his side stumbled into the tournament and have progressed through it with few flourishes and little aesthetic appeal; he used to share ideas with Eddie Jones, the architect of Australia’s embarrassing campaign and whose narcissistic brand of management is very different from Southgate’s more considerate ethos blackjack
The lesson from the 15-man code is that tight knockout games blackjack between elite teams can go either way blackjack
The top two in the world rankings, Ireland and France, lost in the quarter-finals blackjack
Southgate turned his thoughts back to his own game and reflected: “You only have to look through the top 10 European nations and on any one night one can beat another blackjack

“Even though we went out in the World Cup, it was like we took another step in terms of the way we played against France,” he said blackjack
Southgate concurred: “We had that belief in the winter and of course we played a top team and we didn’t quite get there blackjack
But I think the team has evolved again blackjack
”And if France represent an obvious reason why England may not win Euro 2024, with Didier Deschamps’ hugely gifted side meriting the billing of favourites, the reality is there are plenty of contenders and most will depart disappointed blackjack
If a generational talent like Jude Bellingham could make a difference, so can the nous to secure results blackjack
“Knowing how to win games, knowing how to see games out,” Rice outlined blackjack
“The prime example is the Euro final: we didn’t manage that game well enough at all blackjack
I think since then we’ve kicked on and managed games so much blackjack better blackjack

“Not only the All Blacks; England as well [and] South Africa blackjack
How to get over the line blackjack
How to do things differently and how to have that mindset of ‘We ain’t getting beaten blackjack
No matter what blackjack
’”It was an attitude England demonstrated twice against Italy, first holding to win in the hostility of Naples with 10 men, then coming from behind to get victory at Wembley blackjack
If they felt seismic results against a country who have exposed English shortcomings in the past, Southgate’s side are now at a stage where they will be assessed on a still bigger stage blackjack
“We know in the end we will be judged on the tournaments, that’s been clear since we won the games in March,” he added blackjack
“But we’ve had some very special nights with this team, some incredible wins blackjack
” But, as Rice had said, the victory on foreign soil that would mean most will not come in qualifying blackjack
