ODI World Cup: Former England all-rounder Chris Woakes has signed a new two-year contract with Warwickshire, extending his stay at the county club until the end of the 2027 season.

Woakes, 36, announced his retirement from international cricket last month, ending a distinguished career that included 62 Tests, 122 ODIs, and 33 T20Is for England, which featured winning the ODI World Cup in 2019 and the T20 World Cup in 2022.

The new deal will take Woakes past two decades with Warwickshire, the club where he started his professional cricket journey. “For obvious reasons, Warwickshire has always remained close to my heart. From training at the academy to signing my first professional contract, the club has been at every pivotal career moment over almost two decades.”
