Surrey have handed new deals to Zafar Ansari, Rory Burns and Tom Jewell.

Ansari will now remain at the Kia Oval until the end of 2015. The highly-rated 20-year-old all-rounder has penned a summer deal to run alongside the final year of his studies at Cambridge University and will then be under a full contract for the following two seasons.

“When I looked at going to university my aim was to come out of it with a contract at the end of it and to have two full years to really dedicate to cricket,” said Ansari.
