High Finish For Skipper In Most Valuable Player Rankings

High Finish For Skipper In Most Valuable Player Rankings

Worcestershire skipper Daryl Mitchell's fine season is reflected with his high placing in the final Professional Cricketers' Association Most Valuable Player rankings.

Mitchell finished in 11th position in the ranking across all competitions in which he scored nearly 2,000 runs including more than 1,300 in the LV County Championship Division Two promotion campaign.

His team-mate Moeen Ali had topped the rankings in 2013 with Worcestershire all-rounder Gareth Andrew finishing runner-up to Marcus Trescothick in 2011.

County paceman Jack Shantry, who took 56 Championship wickets and also hit his maiden Championship century against Surrey, finished in 31st position.

Warwickshire's Jeetan Patel, who picked up more than 100 wickets in all competitions, came out on top.

The MVP rankings combine all aspects of a player's game.
