Haseeb Hameed, Fergus O’Neill, Brett Hutton and Kathryn Bryce have all been named in the PCA’s teams of the month for April, as determined by their MVP rankings.
Captain Hameed has led Nottinghamshire to the top of the County Championship table after four fixtures, scoring one century and three fifties at the top of the order.
O’Neill’s four fixtures in Notts colours yielded 21 wickets at 17.90, including two five-wicket hauls, making him the most potent bowler in the competition’s opening month.
Hutton secured 15 scalps at 16.20, including one five-wicket haul, from his three appearances during the course of the month.
Scotland skipper Bryce, meanwhile, hit back-to-back half-centuries in the Metro Bank One Day Cup against Lancashire and Durham, before taking 5/38 against Warwickshire as The Blaze secured a second successive victory on the road.
The PCA’s MVP system works by comparing a player’s accomplishments against the expected performance for that game. Runs and wickets achieved at each ground are also considered and compared to the average. This enables players to score or lose MVP points on every ball through CricViz’s extensive historical database, the rankings are a true reflection of performance.
