Jordan Cox, Emma Lamb, Rehan Ahmed and Davina Perrin were the big winners at the 2025 Professional Cricketers’ Association Awards in partnership with Toyota.
Essex batter Cox was named Toyota PCA Men’s Player of the Year after an excellent domestic summer for his county and Hundred champions Oval Invincibles preceded a first England half-century during the recent T20 international series victory in Ireland.
Lamb, meanwhile, took the women’s award after impressing all summer long in domestic cricket and for England, with the batter now part of her country’s World Cup squad for the ongoing tournament in India and Sri Lanka.
Cox – who was the leading run-scorer in the men’s Hundred this year and also scored his maiden T20 century – saw off competition from the likes of England Test batter Joe Root and Surrey opener Dom Sibley to win his player-voted award.

The right-hander is now hoping to “show the selectors I’m capable of playing Test cricket” when he tours Australia with the Lions this winter.
Lamb – the top run-scorer in the Women’s Metro Bank One Day Cup – beat England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt, among others, to secure her accolade.
Perrin, Ahmed rewarded for excellent summers
Perrin, 19, took Toyota Women’s Young Player of the Year, with the batter scoring a stunning 42-ball century for Northern Superchargers in the Hundred eliminator before her side won the tournament for the first time a day later.
Perrin amassed in excess of 1,000 domestic runs this summer – another highlight was a hundred in the One Day Cup – and she is now eyeing an England call-up.

She said: “It’s almost surreal, I’d never played in front of crowds as big as in The Hundred. When you’ve got a great team around you it makes it even more special.
“The biggest thing for me is that I’m maximising my potential and hopefully the England honours will come.”
Ahmed claimed Toyota Men’s Young Player of the Year after a summer in which his five first-class centuries and 23 wickets – including a 13-wicket match haul in a game against Derbyshire – helped the Foxes win County Championship Division Two and secure promotion.
The 21-year-old’s white-ball exploits included averaging 15.90 while taking 12 wickets for Trent Rockets in The Hundred but he says the longer form matters more.
England all-rounder Rehan Ahmed helped Leicestershire achieve County Championship promotion
“My red-ball season was great and I want to be a regular in the England team – it’s more important to me than the white-ball stuff,” he said.
“Being given the opportunity to perform and then repaying the coaches with my form for Leicestershire has been great. I said I wanted to bat up the order and for the coaches to say yes was a massive factor, because I do take a lot of pride in my batting.”
Who were among the other winners?
A number of international awards were also handed out with Sciver-Brunt named Women’s IT20 Player of the Summer and Amy Jones collecting the ODI accolade.

On the men’s side, Harry Brook won Test Player of the Summer with Root picking up the ODI award and Jos Buttler the T20 prize.
Elsewhere, the PCA Outstanding Contribution Award went to Graham Gooch for his support of the game, including extensive donations to the Cricketers’ Trust, an organisation that supports PCA members and their immediate families when they need it most.

Opora USK Ayayiová se stala francouzskou basketbalistkou roku
Ayayiová zvítězila v hlasování před Nadirem Hifim z mistrovského týmu Paříže a Guerschonem Yabuselem z Philadelphie v NBA. Zatímco národní týmy letos skončily na mistrovství Evropy bez medaile, anketu rozhodly úspěchy v klubových angažmá. A tam se Ayayiová pyšní zejména triumfem v Evropské lize, na kterém měla lví podíl, stala se také opakovaně českou šampionkou a zkraje nové sezony přispěla i k zisku evropského Superpoháru. Reprezentaci dovedla ke čtvrtému místu na ME, kde Francie poprvé od roku 2007 skončila bez medaile.Ocenění získala Ayayiová poprvé a stala se nástupkyní Gabby Williamsové z Fenerbahce Istanbul, která tentokrát skončila čtvrtá. Anketa má ženskou vítězku potřetí za poslední čtyři roky, nadvládu přerušil Victor Wembanyama v roce 2023, kdy se stal jedničkou draftu NBA. Letos se hráč San Antonia nevešel do první desítky.
Z neproměněných penalt radost nemám, o to více mě těší výsledek, říkal Bílek
„Mám radost z toho, jak jsme k utkání přistoupili. Přestože se to nevyvíjelo úplně tak, jak jsme chtěli. Chtěli jsme co nejrychleji vstřelit gól, což se nepovedlo, ale hráli jsme trpělivě a od druhé branky už to bylo podle našich představ. Když soupeř běhá bez balónu, tak mu musí odejít síly,“ říkal Bílek po třetím vítězství v kvalifikaci na mistrovství Evropy 2027.Měli jste utkání rozhodnout už v prvním poločase, nebo se to vyvíjelo tak, jak jste předpokládal?Je škoda, že jsme nedali branku dříve, protože jsme do utkání vstoupili dobře. Soupeře jsme přetlačili a horkotěžko se z toho tlaku dostával. Jak jsme v tom ale trošičku nebyli tolik důslední, tak hned vystrčil růžky a ukázal, že když je necháme hrát, tak bychom mohli mít problémy. Pomohla nám první branka, a hlavně pak ta druhá zkraje druhé půle. Po ní jsme se definitivně uklidnili. Ve druhém poločase byla na klucích vidět daleko […]
