Ben Foakes has become the latest Surrey player to sign a new long-term contract.
The wicketkeeper-batsman, who arrived from Essex last year, has joined Tom Curran in committing to the county until 2018.
Foakes averaged more than 50 with the bat as he helped Surrey win Division Two of the County Championship in his first season at The Oval.
Surrey director of cricket Alec Stewart added: "Ben has had an excellent first season at Surrey and thoroughly deserved his selection for the England Lions squad this winter.
"He has a huge role to play at Surrey over the coming years and I'm confident that his talent and performances with us will see him play for England in the future."
Foakes has been included in the England Performance Programme and England Lions squads for this winter.
