Joe Root, Harry Brook and Mark Wood have signed three-year deals as England begin awarding multi-year central contracts for the first time.
Jos Buttler and Jonny Bairstow have agreed two-year deals, but Test captain Ben Stokes and veteran bowler James Anderson have only signed for one year.
Fast bowler Jofra Archer, despite his injury issues, and spinner Adil Rashid, 35, are among those on two-year deals.
Multi-year deals are seen as a way to resist interest from franchise leagues.
“We are rewarding those players who we expect to make a significant impact over the coming years playing for England,” said Rob Key, managing director of England men’s cricket.
“It is great news and a credit to the players for demonstrating their commitment to English cricket in the ever-changing landscape of the sport.”
The England and Wales Cricket Board has given out 18 multi-year deals, in addition to eight lasting one year and three development contracts.
Spinner Rehan Ahmed, pace bowlers Gus Atkinson, Brydon Carse, Matthew Potts and Josh Tongue and batter Ben Duckett have signed their first England contracts – all on two-year deals.
Also on two-year deals are Test opener Zak Crawley, batter Ollie Pope, plus all-rounders Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone and Chris Woakes.
Wicketkeeper Ben Foakes, who was dropped for the Ashes series in the summer, all-rounder Moeen Ali, spinner Jack Leach, batter Dawid Malan and bowlers Ollie Robinson and Reece Topley join Stokes and Anderson on one-year contracts.
Saqib Mahmood, currently out with a second back stress fracture in two years, Hampshire seamer John Turner and Yorkshire quick Matthew Fisher have been given development contracts.
The deals are backdated to start from 1 October 2023.
Jason Roy, who was dropped from England’s 50-over World Cup squad for Brook, does not have a contract after he chose to play in the American T20 Major League Cricket.
Left-armer David Willey, currently part of England’s World Cup squad, has lost his deal, as have pace bowlers Craig Overton, Jamie Overton and Olly Stone, who all had development deals last year.
Stuart Broad is the other player no longer contracted from 2022-23 following his retirement after the final Ashes Test.
