Ben Stokes named Professional Cricketers Association Player of the Year

It’s hard to put it into words. I am over the moon that players think I am worthy of winning the PCA Players’ Player of the Year through performances this summer,” BEN said.

London: The World cup and Ashes Hero England all-rounder Ben Stokes was voted Players’ Player of the Year at the Professional Cricketers’ Association awards.

BEN played a starring role in England’s first 50-over World Cup triumph, culminating in his dynamic man-of-the-match display in Cricket worldcup Final, then repeated his heroics with a superb match-winning 135 not out in the third Ashes Test against Australia.

While Australia retained the Ashes, England finished the series with a creditable draw.

“It’s hard to put it into words. I am over the moon that players think I am worthy of winning the PCA Players’ Player of the Year through performances this summer,” BEN said.

He said : “Earning this award is a huge moment. While this is an individual award, it is within a team sport so I am only in this position because of what other guys in our squad have achieved as well.

“What we have done as a team in 2019 is phenomenal, to win the World Cup and draw the Ashes has been a fantastic summer and something I am proud of personally and as a team.”
