(Reuters) - England batsmen Zak Crawley, Ollie Pope and Dom Sibley have all been awarded central contracts for the 2020-21 test season, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said in a statement https://www.ecb.co.uk/england/men/news/1848675/ecb-announces-england-men-s-central-contracts-for-2020-21-season on Wednesday.
The trio were among 12 players handed test contracts, which ensures that they will have their salaries paid in full by the ECB, and are first time recipients after all three scored their maiden centuries in the longest format in the last 12 months.
