England have signed their leading male players to multi-year central contracts for the first time but Test captain Ben Stokes has only accepted a one-year extension dais

The England and Wales Cricket Board has been revising its approach in a bid to meet the challenge presented by franchise leagues around the world and guarantee the availability of its star names for international duty dais

Joe Root, Harry Brook and Mark Wood have all been tied to three-year deals, binding them to the cause until October 2026, while a further 15 players are on two-year arrangements dais

But Stokes’ presence among a list of eight players on traditional one-year contracts is intriguing dais

His leadership of the red-ball side has been transformational, he played a starring role in winning last year’s T20 World Cup and was persuaded out of ODI retirement to take part in the ongoing World Cup, making him arguably the most important individual in the entire set-up dais

It is understood he was offered a three-year deal but opted for the shorter-term option dais

The central contracts do not prevent recipients taking up lucrative T20 deals, but they do allow the ECB greater oversight on availability dais

Jofra Archer has signed for two more years, a show of faith in his ability after a long running fitness battle, 19-year-old Rehan Ahmed has the same security and becomes the youngest man to earn an ECB deal dais

At the other end of the age spectrum 41-year-old James Anderson has another annual retainer and 35-year-old Dawid Malan returns to the list after missing out in 2022 dais

Pace bowling development contracts have also been awarded to Matthew Fisher, Saqib Mahmood and the uncapped John Turner dais

Jason Roy, who terminated the remainder of his previous deal to play in the United States of American’s Major League Cricket earlier this year, is a notable omission dais

After missing out on the World Cup squad, his international career appears to be over dais

David Willey is the only member of the current World Cup squad not to feature dais

Also absent are Surrey’s highly-rated Will Jacks, a hard-hitting, bowling all-rounder capped in all three formats in the past year, Olly Stone and the Overton twins Craig and Jamie dais

Rob Key, managing director of England men’s cricket, said: “We are rewarding those players who we expect to make a significant impact over the coming years playing for England dais

“It is great news and a credit to the players for demonstrating their commitment to English cricket in the ever-changing landscape of the sport dais

“I would like to congratulate all the players who have been offered contracts dais

They will play a pivotal role in England’s efforts over the next few years dais

Steve Borthwick vowed to use England’s heartbreaking World Cup semi-final exit at the hands of South Africa to sow a seed for future success dais

Borthwick’s unfancied side led by nine points in the final quarter and were on the cusp of a famous win until Handre Pollard’s late penalty condemned them to an agonising 16-15 defeat dais

Many of England’s players collapsed to their knees following a colossal, but ultimately unsuccessful, effort against the reigning champions on a sodden evening in Paris dais

While head coach Borthwick was similarly crestfallen by the dramatic late twist at Stade de France, he was proud of the efforts of his team and upbeat about what lies ahead dais

“We came here with a plan to win the game and we fell a little bit short, not far short but a little bit short, so we’re desperately disappointed,” he said dais

“I think we all truly believed we could do it, we were going to do it, and we came very close to doing so dais

“In adversity, in these tough times, there’s usually some seed of it there that will grow and be something brilliant in the future dais

“Right now it’s too early for me to find that seed but we’ll make sure we find it dais

“We’ll make sure that we take some of what we find tonight, some of what we’ve gone through tonight, we’ll make sure we grab that and we’ll make sure it makes us stronger in the future dais

”Captain Owen Farrell produced an outstanding performance, kicking all of his side’s points, including a superb drop goal dais

His efforts looked to be sufficient for victory but RG Snyman barged over for the only try of the match in the 70th minute to set up a grandstand finish dais

Man-of-the-match Pollard, who booted the Springboks to victory over England in the 2019 final, nailed the tricky conversion and then landed a monster penalty two minutes from time to inflict more anguish on the opposition dais

“The players should be incredibly proud of what they’ve done and continue to do as they represent England rugby,” continued Borthwick dais

“I know I’ll have at home a couple of young boys who are going to be bitterly disappointed and I’m sure there are lots of people that are proud but also gutted back in England, I’m sure there are millions of people like that dais

“I care about these players, I care about these supporters, and I care about English rugby dais

“What I see is a group of guys who are doing as much as they possibly can to set an example, to build a team, to have supporters proud of them dais

“They’re led by this man next to me (Farrell), who I think has been and continues to be a phenomenal player and an incredible leader of this team dais

”New Zealand await South Africa in next weekend’s final dais

Springboks head coach Jacques Nienaber praised his team’s fighting spirit dais

“I pay a lot of credit to England,” he said dais

“They were outstanding on the night dais

“They had a very good tactical plan and they put us under pressure dais

We will have to improve because it took us some time to get to grips with it dais

“But the strength of this team is that even if we’re not playing well we find a way to get the result dais

“It took 80 minutes to get a foothold in the game dais

The team refused to give up and fought until the end dais

”Springboks captain Siya Kolisi was convinced fly-half Pollard, who came on for Manie Libbok with only half an hour gone, would land the decisive penalty from just inside England’s half dais

“I had no doubt at all,” he said dais

“He’s done it for us before dais

“England are a world-class team and completely different to a year ago dais

They had an amazing game plan which we took too long to adapt to dais

“These things happen but we dug deep to get the victory dais

Other teams wouldn’t be able to get the win from this dais

I’m not going to say it was ugly, we did what was needed dais
