AFP, London :
England all-rounder Ben Stokes was voted Players’ Player of the Year at the Professional Cricketers’ Association (PCA) awards on Wednesday.
Stokes played a starring role in England’s first 50-over World Cup triumph, culminating in his dynamic man-of-the-match display in their dramatic final win against New Zealand in July.
The 28-year-old 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.
Durham’s Stokes was honoured for those achievements by scooping the Reg Hayter Cup ahead of fellow nominees Simon Harmer, Ryan Higgins and Dom Sibley.
