Jos Buttler has signed a new three-year contract with Somerset that will keep him in the South West until the end of the 2013 season.
Buttler broke into the senior Somerset side last season in all forms of the game. The 20-year-old scored his maiden first-class century and has also represented England at under-19 level.
"I had a brilliant season in 2010 which far exceeded by own expectations. I was more comfortable playing one-day cricket and during the winter I will look to develop my Championship game," said Buttler.
Buttler is one of the most exciting prospects in English cricket and has a lot of skill that should see him have a long and fruitful career at Somerset. The pressure is now on Buttler to work hard over
the winter.

Buttler has demonstrated how versatile he can be during his short career. He is able to grind out an innings when Somerset is in trouble but his one first-class century and two half-centuries shows he
is equally effective attacking and trying to take the game away from the opposition.
Buttler has a lot of drive and ambition for a young man, which will be harnessed in the right way. The experience of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Marcus-Trescothick-c1898 will help because he will empathise with Buttler's situation and
will want the player to get better.
Buttler will have to work very hard this winter on his own game. Somerset will expect the top order batsman to strengthen and become more powerful. They will also expect Buttler to work hard on his physical
fitness.
"Jos has made a great impact in one-day cricket. Some of the innings that he has played for someone of his age has been quite outstanding. He has a lot of work to do in the first-class game and that is
what we will be concentrating on with him over the next six months," added director of cricket Brian http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rose-c86842.
Betting advice
Back Buttler to succeed in a one-day context until he has proven that he's capable of building a very big score in the four-day format of the game.
