Jos Buttler signs three-year contract extension with Lancashire Cricket

Lancashire Cricket can confirm that England men’s white ball captain Jos Buttler has signed a three-year contract extension with the Club.

Buttler’s current deal was due to expire at the end of this season, but he will now remain at Emirates Old Trafford until at least the end of 2025.

The 32-year-old, who is regarded as one of the best one-day batters in world cricket, joined Lancashire in 2013 from Somerset and was a key part of the Lancashire Lightning side who lifted the T20 Blast trophy for the first time in the Club’s history in 2015.

Buttler, who holds a Central Contract with the ECB, has played in 157 ODIs, 97 T20Is and 57 Test matches for England, winning the ICC Cricket World Cup in 2019 before taking over the white ball captaincy from Eoin Morgan earlier this year.

Jos Buttler said: “I am really pleased to commit my county cricket future to Lancashire, the Club which provided me with an opportunity to achieve my ambitions when I joined from Somerset back in 2013.

“Whilst I have not had the opportunity to come back as much as I would have liked in recent seasons, it is always a privilege to represent the Red Rose and play at Emirates Old Trafford in front of our Members and supporters.

“I will always look to help the Club wherever I can and hopefully there are plenty of opportunities for me to able to do so during the next three seasons.”

Director of Cricket Performance Mark Chilton commented: “We are delighted that Jos has signed a new three-year contract with Lancashire Cricket.

“We are all aware of the limitations within the schedule for a cricketer in demand such as Jos, however, as England men’s white ball captain and a World Cup winner, the value of the experiences that Jos, when available, can impart into our dressing room cannot be underestimated.

“Jos is one of the most feared white ball batters in world cricket and to have the option to include him in our side, when the schedules allow, is something which can only make us stronger and benefit our younger players to learn from such an elite performer.”
