  Well done to Middlesex's Steven Finn & Eoin Morgan who have been awarded central contracts by the ECB for the 2013 season.

  The ECB has announced that ten players have been awarded central contracts for the 2013 season. The players awarded contracts are James Anderson (Lancashire), Ian Bell (Warwickshire), Tim Bresnan (Yorkshire), Stuart Broad (Nottinghamshire), Alastair Cook (Essex), Steven Finn (Middlesex), Eoin Morgan (Middlesex), Matt Prior (Sussex), Graeme Swann (Nottinghamshire) and Jonathan Trott (Warwickshire).

  In addition to these players awarded central contracts a further four players have been awarded incremental contracts.  These players are Jonny Bairstow (Yorkshire), Ravi Bopara (Essex), Craig Kieswetter (Somerset) and Graham Onions (Durham).

  In respect to Kevin Pietersen discussions are on-going and they remain private.

  National Selector, Geoff Miller, commented: "Congratulations to Graham Onions who is the one addition to the list of players who have been awarded increment contracts and is in recognition of the effort he has put in since his return from injury in 2011 and an indication that we feel he has plenty to offer England in the coming months.

  "Contracts are on-going recognition for those players who have regularly been selected for England and have performed consistently as well as players who we feel could play an important role for England over the next 12 months."
