Managing Director of England Women, Clare Connor, said: "It鈥檚 an immensely exciting year ahead for England Women and the awarding of these contracts reflects our confidence in this group of players with our collective focus firmly on winning the ICC Women鈥檚 T20 World Cup on home soil next summer.
鈥淟insey Smith, Emma Lamb and Em Arlott have all made important contributions for England across the last year and these contracts are both a reward for what they have achieved and an opportunity to develop their skills further.
鈥淜ate Cross misses out on a central contract after years of extraordinary service to England Women鈥檚 cricket. The door to selection is never closed on any domestic cricketer. Consistency in scoring runs and taking wickets in county cricket will always put players in a strong position to be picked in England squads.
鈥淲e鈥檙e all excited about what 2025/26 brings. Witnessing India win the ICC Women鈥檚 Cricket World Cup in their own country in front of their own fans is a powerful reminder of the impact that winning major events on home soil can have. The Red Roses too have provided that inspiration. So we know how huge an opportunity a home T20 World Cup is for us next summer. In addition, I know our players will all be striving to be involved in a historic women鈥檚 Test match at Lord鈥檚 against India.鈥�
