Smith extends Worcestershire deal
Former Worcestershire skipper Ben Smith has signed a two-year contract extension with the club.

The new deal will keep him at New Road until the end of the 2008 season.

"I have made it no secret that I would like to finish my career with Worcestershire," said Smith, who joined the club from Leicestershire in 2002.

"I am delighted we have agreed to this contract extension. It gives me some future security and I can concentrate on helping the team achieve success."

Smith was appointed captain for the 2003 season but gave up the job in August last year to concentrate on his batting.

The move paid off and he recently scored three centuries in successive Championship games.
