Giles seeks contract extension at Warwickshire

Spinner Ashley Giles wants to commit himself to Warwickshire for the next five years.

The hero of England's Test series win in Pakistan has already signed a three-year contract but is now seeking a two-year extension.

The 27-year-old, currently on England's tour of Sri Lanka, said: "I have played all my first-team cricket with Warwickshire and I would like to stay with them.

"I wasn't offered an extension at the end of last season but I've approached the county about a long-term deal and I am keen to secure my future."

Warwickshire's committee intend to give Giles a reply before the start of the new domestic season. He joined the Midlands side in 1992 after being rejected by his native Surrey.
