Martyn Moxon expects Yorkshire to benefit financially from the newly structured England and Wales Cricket Board central contract system.

A host of White Rose players have been handed separate Test and white ball contracts, while Joe Root gets both.

The ECB have given the system an overhaul, splitting Test and limited overs deals.

Jonny Bairstow has been handed one of 10 Test deals for the first time alongside Root, who is also on the white ball list alongside county colleagues Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid and David Willey.

Root, Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes and Ben Stokes are the four men who hold both Test and limited overs deals.

The contracts, which run for a 12-month period, commence on October 1.

Bairstow’s salary will now be paid by the ECB, with Yorkshire holding his registration - an obvious financial positive for the county.

Yorkshire will still pay Plunkett, Rashid and Willey, who will then receive an additional fee from the national board, with the White Rose getting compensation when they are unavailable.

Gary Ballance has also been awarded an increment contract, which sees Yorkshire pay his wages. The left-hander will also receive a supplementary payment from the ECB.

“I’m pleased for Jonny to be awarded a central contract,” said Moxon, Yorkshire’s director of cricket. “That’s well deserved. He’s worked for that, and it’s good he’s got recognition.

“The others weren’t a surprise. It’s what we were expecting.

“The financial ramifications, we are just working through to be honest. Hopefully it will be a positive for us, but I haven’t quite got those details at the minute.

“The compensation situation is different under the new system, and that’s what we are working through. I think it will be better for us, but to what extent I’m not sure just yet.”

For Bairstow, this comes as a late birthday present having turned 27 on Monday.

He has enjoyed an exceptional 12 months in England’s Test team, especially with the bat.

He has scored 1,246 runs from 14 Tests against Pakistan, South Africa and Sri Lanka since last October at an average of 59.3 with three hundreds all above 140. He has added five further half-centuries.

Bairstow also topped Yorkshire’s 2016 County Championship averages with 533 runs from four matches at 88.8.

Bairstow, Plunkett, Rashid and Willey are amongst England’s one-day squad for their forthcoming three-match series in Bangladesh, starting next Friday. The squad left London yesterday.

Test contracts: Ali, Anderson, Bairstow, Broad, Cook, Finn, Root, Stokes, Woakes, Wood.

White ball contracts: Ali, Buttler, Hales, Morgan, Plunkett, Root, Roy, Rashid, Stokes, Woakes, Willey.
