Coaching role ?

He's certainly staying on as a player, as his winter plans were mentioned, in passing here: cricket.lancashirecricket.co.uk/news/2018-news/winter-plans-for-the-lancashire-playing-squad/

should be more contract announcements coming up, considering there are players mentioned there, who in theory were out of contract a month ago.

Lancashire finally announce what Paul Allott said on a BBC interview last September (9:46 in):

No, so I started keeping a note of all the announcements made by Lancs (occasionally helped by local press interviews that I come across).

Anderson: last announcement signed a two year contract ending in 2017!  Clearly he was still with Lancs last year.

Onions: joined on a two year contract ending in 2019

Croft: as mentioned in a LEP (iirc) interview this time last year contract was up after 2018

Vilas: signed an extension last year to cover 2019

Parry: signed an extension last year to cover 2019

Gleeson: joined on a long time contract to end of 2021

Buttler: signed a 3 year contract due to end after 2019

Bailey: 2 year extension just signed covering 2020 & 2021

Jennings: joined on a long time contract to end of 2021

Lester: just signed a two year deal for 2019 and 2020

Livingstone: 2 year extension signed when captain covering 2020 & 2021

Hurt: just signed an extension to cover 2020

Davies: on a two year deal to cover up to end 2020

Lamb: on a two year deal to cover up to end 2020

Jones: just signed an extension to cover 2020

Parkinson: 2 year extension signed covering up to end 2021

Hameed: on a four year contract signed in 2016 coming to an end after 2019

Bohannon: just signed an extension to cover 2020

Guest: on a two year deal to cover up to end 2020

Lavelle & Balderson: joining this summer on two year "young professional" contracts

plus Faulkner was signed on a two year deal for 2018 & 2019 T20 only.

Burns on a 10 match contract for 2019 and Maxwell (all formats for 2019) but max of 5 county championship matches

(Yes I know there are only 14 championship matches)

Or to put it another way:

no idea on: Croft and Anderson

current contract ends after 2019: Hameed, Onions, Vilas, Parry, Buttler (unless extended or renewed)

rest with us for 2020 at least unless terminated by mutual agreement (as Procter and Jarvis were for instance)

Chanderpaul was on a one year extension to cover 2018 but no announcement of thanks or that he contract has not being renewed was ever made.  Last confused announcement I read was Chapple saying having him back when Livingstone was injured was really good news (he only played one more match though).

Watt, Khan and Maharaj were only signed on short term contracts.

Thanks that is helpful.

Just to check then, regarding the overseasons players, Faulkner is with us for T20 again this year?

Is Burns signing just for Championship games or white ball too?

Maxwell is for the full season but is limited to 5 CC games?

How can we have more than 1 overseas in T20?

Yes, Faulkner is with Lancs again this year (T20 only)

Burns was signed up only for the championship.

Maxwell is not technically for the full season, but is signed for "the Royal London One-Day Cup, Vitality Blast and will also play a maximum of five Specsavers County Championship games"

Yes, you can play 2 overseas players in the T20.

The interesting aspect, which the club website has been totally silent on, is what effect any Aussie National Team call up will have on either player's availability.  They have also been completely silent on which 10 matches Burns is signed up for, and which Maxwell might play in.  Although Maxwell has stated that it is good to be able to come over early in the season to be able to play red ball cricket and press his claim for a Test recall.

But from the first RL50 to the T20 finals day Maxwell may or may not be available for championship games between 17th April and 21st September.

That LCCC website is so rubbish, I have just searched for Maxwell on it with this result "Sorry, no results were found matching your search term".

[Crusty Crouton]

I see, thanks for the explanation. I had actually forgot that you can play 2 overseas in T20.

Yes re. Your final paragraph, that doesn’t half sum up the club!

I see Maxwell has changed his tune. The Lancs website now says:

"Maxwell arrives in Manchester on April 1 ahead of his debut in the Royal London one-day Cup. He will then link up with Australia for the World Cup, starting at the end of May, before returning to Lancashire duty in mid-July and playing T20 and some Championship cricket through until the end of the season."

SO much for his earlier quote that he was looking forward to playing red ball cricket prior to the Ashes tests.

Not entirely surprising.  I would have him in the Australian Test Squad myself too.  If he does well in the World Cup that may well yet materialise and where does that leave us?!

Interesting article on Maxwell

www.thecricketer.com/Topics/countycricket/glenn_maxwell_becoming_impossible_to_ignore_for_the_ashes.html

Could lose Maxwell and Burns for the duration of the Ashes. Plus minimum of Anderson and Buttler.

Wonder if Maxwell might play a first class game for Australia A after the world cup prior to the Ashes?
