England batsman James Taylor has earned an increment contract for the 2014-15 season from the England and Wales Cricket Board.

The 25-year-old has been given the contract after fulfilling a quota of games for his country.

Players can qualify for an increment contract via a points system, and Taylor has played the necessary number of games in recent times to be handed a new deal.

Taylor made 98 not out during England's opening defeat to Australia at the Cricket World Cup, though it was later proved that an incorrect umpire decision cruelly denied him his maiden one-day international century.
