Somerset duo Craig Overton and Sophie Luff have won the headline accolades at the 2026 PCA awards in partnership with Toyota while emerging England stars Sonny Baker and Tilly Corteen-Coleman also received coveted honours at Exhibition White City. Overton saw him collect a PCA awards quadruple, winning the PCA Men's Player of the Year trophy, the PCA Men's Domestic Overall MVP, the Rothesay County Championship Player of the Year and selection in the IG PCA Men's Team of the Year. The 32-year-old, who has scored 951 runs, taken 76 wickets and 45 catches across all three formats this season, becomes the first Somerset player to secure the award since Nick Compton in 2012, beating competition from the notable shortlist of players including Joe Clarke, George Hill and Dan Lawrence.
He also scored a memorable unbeaten 79 in the Vitality Blast quarter-finals to take Somerset to Finals Day. "It's a phenomenal feeling. To be chosen by your peers to win this award is very special; it means so much to me," said Overton. Somerset completed the double as their captain Luff also won the player-voted for award and becomes the first winner of the Toyota PCA Women's Player of the Year since Eve Jones won it in 2021 to not have played international cricket.
Impressing for her county all season and in The Hundred, which she won with Trent Rockets, Luff was also selected in the Metro Bank PCA Women's Team of the Year. "It's super special people have voted for me after the performances and impact they feel I've had this year. It means that I'm doing things in the right way, and people think highly of you," said the 32-year-old, who scored more than 1,000 runs this summer. The Toyota PCA Men's Young Player of the Year award went to Hampshire and England's Sonny Baker who was rewarded with a Test match debut, playing against New Zealand at the Kia Oval.
