LONDON : England wicketkeeper Ben Foakes and batsman Liam Livingstone have been given annual central contracts while Dawid Malan and Jason Roy have dropped from full deals to increment ones, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said on Tuesday.
The board also announced increment contracts for Harry Brook, Matthew Potts, Reece Topley and David Willey in its 30-man overall list, which has players set to feature in red-ball and white-ball matches during the next 12 months. The increment contracts recognise players who may feature for England on a less predictable basis.
The hosts levelled the series at 1-1 with a dominant innings and 85-run win inside three days in the second Test at Old Trafford. Captain Ben Stokes scored 103 -- his first Test century as skipper -- and wicketkeeper Ben Foakes 113 not out.
England named an unchanged 14-man squad Wednesday for next week's third and deciding Test against South Africa at the Oval.

When James Anderson took the wicket of Simon Harmer during South Africa's second innings of the second Test in Manchester on Saturday, he went past Australia legend Glenn McGrath to become the leading wicket-taker in international cricket among pacers. McGrath had 949 wickets across formats in his international career, and Anderson finished the second Test against South Africa with 951, as he also dismissed Kagiso Rabada after Harmer's wicket. Anderson now has 664 wickets in Tests, 269 in ODIs and 18 in T20 Internationals (T20Is).
South Africa batter Rassie van der Dussen has been ruled out of the third Test against England after he suffered a finger injury on Day 1 of the second Test in Manchester, Cricket South Africa said on Saturday.

All-rounder Wiaan Mulder has been added to South Africa's squad for the series decider.
