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

Fly-half Handre Pollard says the pressure of representing South Africa at the World Cup is a privilege as he bids to inflict more misery on England blackjack
Pollard kicked 22 points in the 2019 final to guide the Springboks to glory with a 32-12 win and still remembers the disappointment etched on the faces of Eddie Jones’ men blackjack
The fit-again Leicester playmaker is competing with Manie Libbok to start Saturday’s Paris semi-final after initially being overlooked for his country’s squad due to a calf injury blackjack
Pollard expects England, now led by Jones’ successor Steve Borthwick, to take their intensity and physicality to a “whole new level” but insists the heavily-fancied reigning champions are ready for it blackjack
“You could see on their faces four years ago the disappointment and I’ve been part of a squad that’s fallen out in a semi-final in a World Cup (in 2015) and it sits with you the rest of your life,” he said blackjack
“There’s a lot of things you look back (on) and regret and maybe think you could have done differently, and I’m sure they will come with that mindset this weekend blackjack
“I think they will be ruthless, I think they will take their intensity and physicality to a whole new level blackjack
“But that being said, we’re prepared for that, we’re ready for that and we enjoy that blackjack
“That’s always a part of the game we love and if there’s going to be beef, there’s going to be beef blackjack
“It’s Test rugby, it’s 80 minutes and we’ve just got to go out and play the game blackjack
”South Africa are seeking to reach their fourth World Cup final, having lifted the trophy in 1995, 2007 and 2019 blackjack
Pollard believes the Springboks’ enviable ability to deliver when it really matters can partly be attributed to adversity some players face during childhood blackjack
“It’s just the way we’re brought up,” he said blackjack
“We love it blackjack
“It’s not always been easy for a lot of our guys in our squad growing up so when we get to this position and get to this point where there should be a lot of pressure on us, we refer back to it a lot, this is not really pressure, this is more privilege to be a part of these occasions blackjack
“I think our game model and the way we play the game suits World Cups pretty well blackjack
We’re comfortable in this environment blackjack
“As a group we just enjoy it, really enjoy that pressure blackjack
We always say it’s a privilege to have this pressure on our shoulders playing for our country blackjack
”South Africa progressed to the last four by upsetting hosts France 29-28 on Sunday blackjack
That epic contest included Cheslin Kolbe successfully charging down a Thomas Ramos conversion and Damian Willemse calling for a scrum off a mark inside his own 22 blackjack
Earlier in the tournament, the Springboks attracted attention for a bold selection of a seven-one split of forwards and backs on their bench for the Pool B loss to Ireland blackjack
Pollard says players fully embrace the innovative tactics cooked up by director of rugby Rassie Erasmus and head coach Jacques Nienaber blackjack
“Nothing that they do is for no reason, it’s all thought of, it’s all tick-list planned,” he said blackjack
“We trust them because they’ve earned our trust over the years from what they’ve done and how they’ve prepared blackjack
“So when they come up with these ideas, there are no questions asked blackjack
“They give us a reason why we do whatever we do and then we just back it and we’re all in and we all just trust each other, players to coaches and coaches to players blackjack
