Sam Curran gets first Test deal as ECB award contracts for 2018-19

Jos Buttler and Adil Rashid are the two additions to the list of players with both Test and white-ball contracts that includes Moeen Ali, Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Ben Stokes and Chris Woakes.

In addition to the central contracts, a limited number of incremental contracts are also awarded and Tom Curran is the recipient of one such contract. Test contract awardees and those playing all formats are paid their salaries in full by the ECB while white-ball players are paid a supplement over their county salaries.

Players in all formats will receive a 'ranking' based on their on-field performances as well as their off-field contribution, fitness and fielding. This rating will decide their remuneration.

These contracts will cover a 12-month period beginning from 1 October 2018.
