Gloucestershire duo Will Tavare and Graeme van Buuren have signed extended contracts.
Tavare, who came through the ranks at the county, has signed until the end of the 2019 season despite a difficult campaign that saw him score just 112 County Championship runs in six matches.
Van Buuren, who qualifies as a non-overseas player despite being born in South Africa, has signed on for a further two years after a successful first season at the County Ground which included an unbeaten 172 in the win over Worcestershire.
Head coach Richard Dawson said: "It's great to see both players committed to the club for the long term.
"Will and Graeme are two players who are still developing their skills and both will add strength and depth to the squad in all competitions."

Tavare said: "After a tough summer with injury and not performing as I would back myself, the constant kind words from the supporters throughout the summer make you realise how much of a family this club is."
