England one-day captain Eoin Morgan and fast bowler Toby Roland-Jones have agreed new contracts with Middlesex.
Ollie Rayner and Stephen Eskinazi have joined them in signing new deals with the club, who were relegated from Specsavers County Championship Division One last season.
Morgan, who has been with Middlesex since 2005 and scored 7,500 runs in all formats, said: "I am pleased to have extended my contract with the club that I've represented since I was a youngster.
"We've got an exceptionally talented squad here at Middlesex, with a terrific blend of youth and experience, and I'm really excited about what we can achieve as a playing group going forwards."
Roland-Jones made his Test and one-day international debuts for England earlier this year but missed out on an Ashes place after picking up a back injury late in the season.
The 29-year-old said: "It's been an amazing year for me personally, making both my ODI and Test debuts with England, and I'm delighted to finish the year by signing an extension to my contract with Middlesex.
"Obviously on-field performances last season were a huge disappointment for all of us in the Middlesex dressing room and I'm excited to be part of a playing group that are wholly committed to coming back stronger in 2018, competing on all fronts and challenging for honours."
Middlesex director of cricket Angus Fraser added: "Obviously Middlesex had a difficult season this year, but we have many fine players, and there are plenty of good things happening at the club.
"During our time in Division One we were the second-best team behind Yorkshire and I have total faith that these players will help us get back to where we all want to be. I look forward to working with them for the next few years."
