Worcestershire wicketkeeper Ben Cox has committed himself to the county by signing a new four-year contract at New Road.
The 25-year-old had three years remaining on his current deal but has agreed terms on an improved contract until the end of the 2021 season.
Cox made his first-team debut for the Pears as a 17-year-old and hit a career best 124 last season as he helped the county to the Specsavers County Championship Division Two title and promotion.
He said: "I'm delighted to sign a new contract. In general it's been a real good year for the club and with with everyone signing, it's a statement of intent from the club that they want all the players here now signing long-term contracts and I think it's good for everyone.
"We want to keep the group of players together we've got now, add to that and strengthen which we have with Steve Magoffin already, and hopefully we can add more and start making inroads in Division One."
