Ian Bell has extended his contract with Warwickshire by two years, which will now run until the end of the 2012 season.Commenting on the news, Ashley Giles, the Warwickshire coach 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. His experience of both domestic and international cricket make him a great role model for the younger members of the squad and a great asset to [captain] Ian Westwood when he is available to play for us in the summer.”Bell was happy about the extension and expressed optimism over his future with the club. “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,” he said.”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.”
