International paceman Boyd Rankin and emerging batsman Sam Hain have signed long-term deals with Warwickshire.

Rankin, who has 62 full international caps, has committed to the club for three years and Hain for four.

Rankin, 30, joined the Bears in 2008 and has helped them to win the LV= County Championship, Clydesdale Bank 40 and NatWest T20 Blast titles during his time in the Midlands.

He started his international career with Ireland before switching allegiance to England, whom he has represented on and off since June last year.

Hain made his first-class debut in May and has since played 12 matches with an average of 51.43, the 19-year-old becoming the youngest Warwickshire player to make a century and double-century in the process.

Boyd Rankin helped Warwickshire reach the Royal London One-Day Cup final but they could not match their NatWest T20 Blast sucess

Warwickshire director of cricket Dougie Brown said: "Both Boyd and Sam made important contributions to our success in 2014 and will be key for our push for more silverware in 2015 and beyond.

"Boyd's pace and bounce make him one of the most feared bowlers on the county circuit and, at his best, he is a match for any batsman in the world.

"His form in the latter part of the season was key to our qualification for the Royal London One-Day Cup final at Lord's and claiming our first NatWest T20 Blast title at Edgbaston.

"Sam took his opportunity in first-class cricket last season and is now one of the most exciting prospects in the country.

"His record-breaking feats have rightly attracted a lot of attention and we are thrilled that he has committed long-term to Warwickshire."
