Kent all-rounder Joe Denly has been named as Players’ Player of the Year at the Professional Cricketers Association awards in London.
Denly beat county team-mate Matt Henry and Rory Burns and Rikki Clarke of Surrey to the award.
It was one of four awards for the 32-year-old on the night.
He was also presented with the Vitality Blast and Royal London One-Day Cup trophies, as well as being selected in the Team of the Year.
Denly has enjoyed a superb season and his form has seen him earn a call-up to the England Test squad to tour Sri Lanka next month.
Young Player of the Year went to Surrey’s Ollie Pope while Sophie Ecclestone was named as Women’s Player of the Summer.
Bowler Jimmy Anderson was awarded the Test Player of the Summer honour for the second year running after a season which saw him become the most prolific seam bowler in the history of Test Match cricket, surpassing Glenn McGrath’s total of 563 wickets.
Jos Buttler won the one-day equivalent.
