International bank and asset manager Investec has signed a new agreement with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to sponsor England Test matches for the next 10 years.

It is the longest sponsorship deal signed by the ECB and will run until 2021, including three home Ashes series and tours by the West Indies, India, Pakistan and South Africa.

The deal allows Investec, which succeeds npower as England Test sponsor, to benefit from a "comprehensive range" of rights, such as ticketing, hospitality and access to England players.

ECB chief executive David Collier said: "ECB has an excellent track record in developing and sustaining business partnerships across professional and recreational cricket and we look forward to working closely with everyone at Investec over the coming decade."
