SURREY will still be able to call on the seam services of Jade Dernbach and Stuart Meaker after the pair both signed new three-year contracts to keep them at the Oval until the end of the 2020 season.

Both Dernbach and Meaker have made England appearance­s with 31-year-old Dernbach featuring 58 times for England in white-ball cricket between 2011 and 2014.

Dernbach made his Surrey debut against India A in 2003 before establishi­ng himself in the side from 2005 onwards.

He has made 103 first-class appearance­s, while starring in 138 List A matches and 131 T20 games.

Dernbach said:“I am so pleased to have signed an extension here at Surrey.We have such a young and exciting squad and I’m looking forward to pushing for silverware over the next three years.”

Fellow right-armer Meaker, 28, played two ODIs for England against India in 2011 and featured in two T20 internatio­nals against the same opposition a year later.

Meaker said: “I’ve spent an amazing ten years at this great club now. Every year has presented a new and exciting challenge and goal to achieve.

“Signing this new contract shows just how excited I am to continue taking on those challenges with the amazing squad of players we have at Surrey.”
