Ben Duckett and Rob Keogh have renewed their contracts with Northamptonshire until the end of the 2017 season.
Both players are academy products at Wantage Road and are fixtures in the Northants first team.
Head coach David Ripley said: ''We are delighted that Ben and Rob will be with us going forwards.
"They came through our system and we've seen them grow as young players and young men during their time here. I'm looking forward to seeing that continue over the coming years as our Academy consistently provides home grown, first-class talent.
"We recently announced Azharullah's extension until the end of 2017 so we've already got the basis of an excellent squad for next year taking shape.
"Looking a bit further ahead we are making progress in securing other key players beyond the end of next year."
The renewals are welcome news to Northants, who received confirmation that England all-rounder David Willey will leave the county for Yorkshire at the end of the season.
''We've obviously known about David's thoughts for some time," added Ripley. "Whilst sad to see him go, the club can also feel proud of our role in his growth and development as a player. We wish him well. He will remain a Steelback at heart I suspect.''
