HAMPSHIRE star Liam Dawson completed a quadruple of PCA Awards this summer when he was named PCA Men's Player of the Year 2024.
He also won the PCA Men’s Domestic Overall MVP, the Vitality County Championship Player of the Year and captained the IG PCA Men’s Team of the Year.
The all-rounder secured the player-voted-for award, beating competition from an illustrious shortlist which included Joe Root, Gus Atkinson and Colin Ingram.
Dawson joins a prestigious list of winners from recent years such as England's Harry Brook, Jonny Bairstow, Root, Chris Woakes and Ben Stokes.
A phenomenal season sees Dawson pick up a third PCA trophy, having won the support of his peers and becoming the first domestic player to win this award since 2018.
After winning the award, Dawson said: "It’s a huge honour, the other nominees are all brilliant players and I didn’t expect this, so to win the award is a very proud moment.
"I was very surprised but I am delighted, it’s a real highlight of my career. It’s a very special award so to win it is great. I had a strong season last year.
"To have an even better season this year really tops it off. It feels great knowing that the award is voted for by fellow players that you play against week in, and week out.
"When I finish my career I will look back very fondly on this achievement because it’s something I never thought would happen."
The cinch PCA Men’s Player of the Year trophy will sit on the mantlepiece next to his incredible MVP double, a feat he also achieved in 2023.
The Hampshire all-rounder took 71 wickets across all formats in 2024 and scored 1,280 runs, topping the Overall MVP table by a considerable distance.
PCA interim chief executive, Daryl Mitchell, added: “It has been another incredible year across men’s and women’s international and domestic cricket.
"It is always a privilege to celebrate all our winners at the most prestigious awards ceremony in cricket.
“I want to say a huge congratulations to our four main winners at this year’s cinch PCA Awards, all of them have been incredible and deserve their accolades."
