The system, which covers both red-ball and white-ball players, considers the likelihood of players featuring in England teams across formats over the next period while recognising performances in the previous year.
Woakes – who’s just two Tests short of making 50 red ball appearances for his country – has been awarded a Two-Year Central Contract.
It’s the first time multi-year contracts have been awarded since the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) introduced the system in 2000.
Bears T20 Captain Ali – who’s made 279 England appearances across all formats – has been given a One-Year Contract.
In total, 29 players have received Central Contract offers.
Managing Director of England Men’s Cricket, Rob Key, said: "It is great news and a credit to the players for demonstrating their commitment to English cricket in the ever-changing landscape of the sport.
"I would like to congratulate all the players who have been offered contracts.”
