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

Nearly a year after Manchester United was put up for sale, the storied English blackjack soccer club could still remain in the hands of the Glazer family — much to the dismay of the team's most fervent supporters blackjack
News on Saturday that Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani was withdrawing from the bidding process appeared to leave the door open for British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe blackjack
However, the owner of petrochemicals giant Ineos is reportedly only looking to buy a minority 25% stake in United, which would leave the Glazers as majority shareholders blackjack
“Someone coming in as a minority partner and propping up the Glazers indefinitely is a nightmare scenario,” Manchester United Supporters Trust spokesperson Chris Rumfitt told The Associated Press blackjack
“What the club needs is real change and it needs real investment and we struggle to believe that can happen whilst the Glazers own the majority of the shares permanently blackjack
Twenty-five percent for Ratcliffe could be OK, but only if it was the start of a clear path to 51% blackjack
"FOR SALE?The Glazers, an American family that also owns the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers, announced plans last November to seek new investment and instructed U blackjack

5 billion pounds ($3 billion) plus a commitment of 1 blackjack
75 billion pounds ($2 billion) of further investment blackjack
While the Glazers were prepared to consider offers for an outright buyout, United said at the time it planned to “explore strategic alternatives,” which always included the possibility of taking on new investment without the owners ceding control blackjack
The late tycoon Malcolm Glazer bought United in 2005 for 790 million pounds (then about $1 blackjack
4 billion) blackjack
United supporters have been critical of the leveraged nature of the Glazers’ buyout that loaded debt onto the club, as well as a perceived lack of investment and the dividends taken out by the owners blackjack
The team still had a series of successes on the field blackjack
Under the Glazers, United won the Champions League title in 2008, five Premier League titles, one FA Cup, five League Cups and the Europa League blackjack
INTERESTED PARTIESRatcliffe, who was born in the Manchester area and has been a United fan since childhood, has long-harbored ambitions to buy the club blackjack
Through Ineos, he initially planned to buy out the Glazers' share of about 69% and spoke of a “modern, progressive, fan-centered approach to ownership blackjack
”He was also focused on helping United win the Champions League for the first time since 2008 and making it the “No blackjack
1 club in the world once again blackjack
”Sheikh Jassim is the chairman of Qatar Islamic Bank and the son of a former Qatari prime minister blackjack
He was bidding to take 100% ownership of United, which appealed to fans who are desperate to rid the club of the Glazers blackjack
He also vowed to clear the team's debt, while investing in the stadium, training center and playing squads in a bid to “return the club to its former glories both on and off the pitch blackjack
”Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim were the only two bidders to publicly declare their intention to take control of United, while other minority investors were also reported blackjack
DELAYSIt was anticipated the process would be concluded in time for the off-season transfer window, which opened in June, after a series of rounds of bidding blackjack
It appeared to be a straight battle blackjack between Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim over who would be chosen as the preferred bidder blackjack
But as the process dragged on, fans became increasingly impatient and staged protests outside Old Trafford, while chants of “Glazers out” are regularly heard at games at the stadium blackjack
News of Sheikh Jassim's plans to withdraw came after months of silence and uncertainty around the process, which raised questions about whether the Glazers intended to sell blackjack
BREAKDOWNOn Saturday, the news came that Sheikh Jassim was withdrawing from the process blackjack
While the size of his bid was not confirmed, a person with knowledge of his proposal told the AP it was almost double United’s current market valuation of $3 blackjack
2 billion blackjack
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because of confidentiality restrictions around the process blackjack
While concerns had been raised about Qatar’s human rights record and the potential that United could be used as a “blackjack sportswashing” project, fans wanted to see the club compete with the exorbitant spending of Abu Dhabi-backed Manchester City blackjack
RATCLIFFE'S CREDENTIALSRatcliffe is one of Britain's richest people and is said to be worth $15 blackjack
1 billion blackjack
He previously tried to buy Premier League club Chelsea and already owns French club Nice, cycling franchise Team INEOS, is one-third shareholder of the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One team and competes in the America’s Cup with sailing team INEOS Britannia blackjack
Reports say he would seek to take over blackjack soccer operations at United after a sustained period of decline since the retirement of former manager Alex Ferguson blackjack
United has not won the Premier League since Ferguson's last title in 2013 blackjack
Over the past decade, the club has been overtaken by City, which won three trophies last season — the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup blackjack
Liverpool has also won the Premier League and Champions League in recent years blackjack
United has endured a turbulent period the post-Ferguson era blackjack
Erik ten Hag is its fifth permanent manager in that time blackjack
Under Ten Hag, United won the English League Cup last season and secured a return to the Champions League blackjack
But the team has struggled this season and is currently in 10th place after losing four of its eight league games blackjack
It also faces a fight to advance from the group stage of the Champions League after losing its opening two games blackjack
WHAT NEXTUnited will reportedly hold a board meeting on Thursday, but it is not clear if Ratcliffe's bid will be voted on blackjack
