Wicketkeeper Alex Davies has committed himself to Lancashire by agreeing a new contract.
The 21-year-old was named as the Red Rose county's young player of the year and also shortlisted for the LV= breakthrough player of the year last season.
With Jos Buttler on England duty throughout the summer, Davies scored seven half-centuries and claimed 50 dismissals in first-class cricket.
Teenage leg-spinner Matt Parkinson has also signed a new deal.
Head coach Ashley Giles said: "Alex is an exciting talent and is very much a key member of our squad - you almost seem to forget that he's only 21.
"With Jos being away with England, Alex has stepped up and made excellent contributions not only with the gloves but also with the bat.
"Matty is another talented youngster we have at Lancashire and he will play an important part for Lancashire in the future."
