Stokes is currently the captain of the England Test cricket team Ben Stokes (Photo Source: Getty Images) The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is bringing a new contract policy for the recently contracted players. In this new policy, players will be able to sign contracts with the board for more than one year. So now, according to the latest media reports, England cricket team captain and veteran all-rounder Ben Stokes can sign a two-year contract deal with the ECB. Also, Stokes’ contract can be extended till the Ashes series to be held during the year 2025-26. You may remember that last time in the ECB’s contract policy, star cricketers Joe Root, Harry Brook and Mark Wood had signed contracts for three years, while Ollie Pope and Jofra Archer had signed contracts for two years. Whereas in October last year, Stokes had signed a contract for only one year. On the other hand, if media reports of The Guardian are to be believed, Stokes may sign an extended central contract for two years this time. If Stokes signs a two-year contract with the ECB, then this can definitely be a good time for England’s Test cricket. Because recently the ECB has extended the tenure of red ball cricket head coach Brendon McCullum till 2027 not only in red ball but also in white ball. McCullum replaced Matthew Mott in the team. It is worth noting that the board was very unhappy with the disappointing performance of the team in the World Cup 2023 and T20 World Cup 2024 under the head coaching of Mott. However, Stokes is not in England’s white ball scheme at the moment. But it will be interesting to see how England will perform in the upcoming ICC events Champions Trophy 2025, T20 World Cup 2026 and World Cup 2027 under the head coaching of former Kiwi captain Brendon McCullum?

With the arrival of Brendon McCullum, the confidence of the team has increased a lot and the performance of all the players has also improved.

Brendon McCullum is a very good person and the best coach. The pair of Brendon and Jos Buttler are now ready to do wonders. He must have taken this challenge because he himself knows that his arrival will make a lot of difference in the team and he will be seen playing an important role as a coach. Baz is very serious about the game and he also encourages the team in a great way. It is going to be a big thing for English cricket that Brendon McCullum will be seen coaching both the teams.
