New Zealand Cricket (NZC), the apex body of cricket in New Zealand has announced the list of players they have offered contracts for the 2023-24 season.

The announcement came on Thursday (June 8) and NZC has included pacer Adam Milne for the annual contract, which is the first offer Milne has received in five years.

Milne has been in the international circuit for a long time but never established himself as a regular in any format. The pacer is in contention for New Zealand's ODI team for the World Cup later this year.

"Adam's worked exceptionally hard and has shown good resilience over the past few years to be in a position to earn this contract offer," Blackcaps coach Gary Stead said.

"He's always been a top-class bowler and we were impressed by his consistent contributions in the recent home summer and tour of Pakistan," he added.

Finn Allen, Mark Chapman, and Blair Tickner have been retained for a contract this year. The trio replace Colin De Grandhomme, who retired from international cricket, and Martin Guptill and Trent Boult, who requested to be released from central contracts.

NZC also confirmed pacer Trent Boult declined the central contract this year but will be available for selection in specific series. The players have a deadline of June 12 to accept or decline the offered contract.
