The PCA Player of the Year is an annual cricket award, presented to the player adjudged to have been the best of the year in English county cricket. The award has been given since the 1970 season and the winner is chosen by a vote amongst the members of the players' trade union, the Professional Cricketers' Association (PCA). With the exception of the first year, when a joint award was made, the award has been bestowed upon one individual each season. The winning player is awarded the Reg Hayter Cup, named after a sports journalist who was also a member of the Marylebone Cricket Club, a Lord's Taverner, and a life member of Surrey County Cricket Club. The award was first presented in 1970, when Mike Procter of Gloucestershire County Cricket Club and Jack Bond of Lancashire County Cricket Club were joint winners. Seven players have won the award more than once, but only Sir Richard Hadlee and Marcus Trescothick (pictured) have been named Player of the Year on three occasions. On nineteen occasions, the PCA Player of the Year has also been named one of the five Wisden Cricketers of the Year for that season. (Full list...)
