Warwickshire all-rounder Ateeq Javid has signed a three-year extension to his contract, keeping him at the club until the end of the 2017 season.
Javid, 23, is a product of the club’s academy, having joined the club at the Under 10s level.
His breakthrough season came in 2013 when he scored two centuries in the County Championship, and this year he played a key role in helping the Bears win this year’s NatWest T20 Blast.
Dougie Brown, Warwickshire’s Director of Cricket, said: “Ateeq has experience of playing in big matches and, as a 23-year-old, he has the best days of his career ahead of him.
“As a club we take great pride in seeing our promising young cricketers develop in to talented professionals who contribute to our success.
“Ateeq has worked incredibly hard to get where he is in the game and we’re thrilled that he remains a Bear for many years to come.”
Javid said: “Representing my home county means a huge amount to me and I would like to thank all of the fellow players, coaches and members for their support.
“What we achieved by winning the NatWest T20 Blast in 2014 was fantastic, but I’m hungry for more silverware and hopefully I will be able to contribute more for the Bears in the next three years and beyond.”
