Speaking about the new contract, Coventrian Ian Bell told Edgbaston.com: "I have been a Bear since I was a boy and I have no desire to play anywhere else,
"Warwickshire is my cricketing home and I love playing at Edgbaston and with the Bear on my chest. I think the future of the club is hugely exciting under Ashley and I hope to be able to make a significant contribution to the success I believe we can achieve under him over the next few years. "
Warwicks boss Ashley Giles said: “We are delighted to have Ian committed to the Club for a lengthy period, he is a quality player and is a Bear through and through.
