The prestigious event celebrated the achievements of players who shone both domestically and internationally over the past year.
Jordan Cox and Emma Lamb: Leading the Spotlight
Essex batsman Jordan Cox clinched the Toyota PCA Men’s Player of the Year title following a stellar season. His outstanding performance in domestic cricket and his first England half-century during the T20 series in Ireland marked a breakthrough year. Cox’s commendable skills also led him to become the leading run-scorer in The Hundred and score his maiden T20 century, surpassing the likes of Joe Root and Dom Sibley in the player-voted category.
Emma Lamb shone in the women’s category, securing the Toyota PCA Women’s Player of the Year award. Her remarkable summer varied from superb domestic cricket performances to representing England on the global stage at the ongoing World Cup in India and Sri Lanka.
Rising Stars: Davina Perrin and Rehan Ahmed
The awards celebrated up-and-coming talents, with Davina Perrin taking home the Toyota Women’s Young Player of the Year. The 19-year-old achieved impressive feats, including a 42-ball century for the Northern Superchargers in The Hundred eliminator, contributing significantly to her team’s first tournament victory. Perrin amassed over 1,000 domestic runs this season and aims for an England call-up.
Rehan Ahmed was honored as the Toyota Men’s Young Player of the Year after a successful summer, highlighted by five first-class centuries and leading Leicestershire to County Championship Division Two promotion. Ahmed’s dedication to red-ball cricket and aspirations to become a staple in the England team were substantial factors in his recognition.
