Nottinghamshire and England batsman James Taylor has been awarded an England increment contract for 2014-15.
Taylor qualifies for the award by virtue of playing four ODIs against Sri Lanka, five ODIs against Australia and India during the recent tri-series and an ODI against Australia in the opening round of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015.
Non-contracted players can earn an England increment contract via a points system. Five points are awarded for a Test appearance and two for a T20 or ODI appearance, with an increment contract being awarded automatically once the player reaches 20 points during the 12-month contract period.
