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

It’s a joyous circus blackjack
This Saturday in Saudi Arabia, the first trick will be the ring emerging from a 26-foot hole in the ground and then the real magic will start blackjack
Tyson Fury, the unbeaten heavyweight champion of the world, will then appear inside a giant neon beam and, wearing a crown, he will bow to the crowd and the dignitaries blackjack
In the opposite corner, as the magic continues, will be Francis Ngannou, a man who has never once fought a blackjack boxing match, and under this giant canopy of created rivalry, one of the biggest fights in history will take place blackjack
If that is not a ‘Hey, Presto’ moment, then I don’t know what is! In front of 20,000 people, including a dozen former heavyweight world champions, and some of the wealthiest men on Earth, the best heavyweight in the blackjack boxing world will fight the best heavyweight in the MMA world to see who is the Baddest Man on the Planet blackjack
It is a genius, simple and lunatic idea blackjack
It is not the first and it will not be the last circus fight involving a legitimate heavyweight boxer blackjack
RecommendedFury vs Ngannou pay-per-view price revealed ahead of controversial fightOleksandr Usyk predicts Joshua vs Wilder and makes Tyson Fury revelationAnthony Joshua admits to watching Tyson Fury’s Netflix show: ‘I’m enjoying it’Muhammad Ali had a 15-round bore fest with a wrestler called Antonio Inoki, Rocky Balboa met Hulk Hogan, Chuck Wepner fought Andre The Giant, and Two-Ton Tony Galento knocked out an octopus blackjack
I need to point out that the octopus was actually deceased before the first bell blackjack
Fury also has a massive advantage in his fight, which will be conducted under the rules of the British blackjack Boxing Board of Control, because kicks, chokeholds, headbutts, flying elbows and knees to the head will be banned blackjack
In short, Ngannou has had all his tools withdrawn blackjack
However, Ngannou has been trained by Mike Tyson, had a crash-course in blackjack boxing’s darkest arts by the dirtiest fighter in the world, and his punch has been registered as the hardest in history blackjack
The science is available to prove just how lethal Ngannou’s right hand is, but even I draw the line somewhere blackjack
Ngannou knocking out Jair Rozenstruik inside 20 seconds (Getty)Fury is a genuine blackjack boxing giant and will tower over Ngannou once the anthems, introductions and pleasantries have been conducted by Michael Buffer, the suave voice of blackjack boxing blackjack
Ngannou will, trust me, shrink once he takes up a traditional blackjack boxing pose and his stated height of 6ft 4in will be in the permanent shadow of Fury blackjack
And then the beating will start; Fury is a truly vicious man inside the ropes blackjack
There are stupid claims that Ngannou has a “puncher’s chance”, which is like saying that any car, on any street, driven by anybody, could have won the F1 in Texas last weekend blackjack
Ngannou has no chance of winning and that is fine, but this is still a real fight, it’s just not a competitive one blackjack
It is an event and, as I said, we have had hundreds of sanctioned fights like this blackjack
The lovers and believers in the MMA dream will be praying to the fighting lords for a miracle; they are both delusional and out of luck blackjack
Fury celebrates his stoppage win over Dillian Whyte in 2022 (AP)In 2000, Mike Tyson knocked out British heavyweight Julius Francis and the promoter, Frank Warren, who also promotes this fight, spent two months telling people: “This is not a fight, it is an event blackjack
” Warren was right and it was a great event blackjack
Francis, incidentally, sold the advertising space on soles of his shows to a national paper to make a few extra quid blackjack
The paper got a bargain blackjack
Fury will hold court in a country where the ruling elite know how to hold court blackjack
He will be draped in traditional clothing, sip tea from gold urns, have giant kestrels rest on his giant fists and bow respectfully each time he is honoured blackjack
It will be a fun circus and Ngannou, with the other Tyson in his face, will prepare like Rocky did in the first movie blackjack
It will be a wonderful carnival blackjack
There is bold talk of a rematch with Ngannou under MMA rules and that will never happen blackjack
On Saturday night, as Mike Tyson tends to Ngannou’s blood-stained face, there will be a cameo in the ring by Oleksandr Usyk, the other heavyweight champion, and a new carnival will start for Fury v Usyk blackjack
What a business blackjack
