England’s centrally-contracted players for 2015-16: Moeen Ali (Worcestershire), James Anderson (Lancashire), Ian Bell (Warwickshire), Stuart Broad (Nottinghamshire), Jos Buttler (Lancashire), Alastair Cook (Essex), Steven Finn (Middlesex), Eoin Morgan (Middlesex), Joe Root (Yorkshire), Ben Stokes (Durham), Mark Wood (Durham)
Incremental contracts: Jonny Bairstow (Yorkshire), Gary Ballance (Yorkshire), Alex Hales (Nottinghamshire), Chris Jordan (Sussex), Liam Plunkett (Yorkshire), Adil Rashid (Yorkshire), Chris Woakes (Warwickshire), James Taylor (Nottinghamshire).
I'm pleased that Chris Jordan and Gary Ballance were given incremental contracts, I still think both have a part to play in the Test team going forward. By contrast, Adam Lyth has been completely dropped from the entire setup, indicating that he is not in the selectors thoughts and will have a tough time getting a second chance.
