The England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and the Professional Cricketers’ Association (PCA) have agreed a three-year sponsorship deal with FTI Consulting for the ‘Most Valuable Player’ rankings system.
Under the new deal, FTI MVP rankings awards will be presented to the leading domestic player at the end of each county season and the leading England player at the end of the domestic international season and the winter tour period.
A monthly FTI MVP rankings award will also be announced throughout the summer for the leading player across the LV= County Championship, Friends Provident T20 and Clydesdale Bank 40.
Originally conceived by the PCA, the rankings – powered by Press Association Sport – are a cumulative points system that rewards players for every run scored, every wicket taken and every catch held.
PCA chief executive Angus Porter said: “We don’t just believe the FTI MVP rankings measure the value of a player’s contribution – we know they do.
"For the last three years, the winner of the overall MVP award in county cricket has also received the accolade of being elected the ‘NatWest Players' Player of the Year’ at the NatWest PCA Awards – the ultimate endorsement that the FTI MVP ranking reflects accurately the way professional players assess player performance.”
