Stokes has committed to England until at least 2026, covering the Ashes series in Australia, which starts late next year, while Buttler has agreed fresh terms, extending his contract by 12 months.
Jamie Smith, who has cemented himself as first-choice Test wicketkeeper in recent months, has been rewarded with a first England deal, signing for two years.
