SOMERSET’S Craig Overton and Sophie Luff have won the headline accolades at the 2026 PCA Awards in partnership with Toyota at Exhibition White City.

A phenomenal season for Overton saw him collect a PCA Awards quadruple, winning the Toyota PCA Men’s Player of the Year trophy, the PCA Men’s Domestic Overall MVP, powered by OFX, the Rothesay County Championship Player of the Year and selection in the IG PCA Men’s Team of the Year. Overton becomes the first Somerset player to secure the award since Nick Compton in 2012.

Somerset completed the double when captain Sophie Luff also won the player-voted 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 to bat at number four in the Metro Bank PCA Women’s Team of the Year.

Somerset all-rounder Overton has enjoyed a fantastic year, amassing 951 runs, 76 wickets and 45 catches. Incredibly he also won an unprecedented three PCA Player of the Month awards, alongside his PCA Awards quadruple.

The 32-year-old scored three First-Class hundreds and averaged 19.18 with the ball in the County Championship. He also scored a memorable unbeaten 79 in the Vitality Blast quarter-final to take Somerset to Finals Day.

Craig said: “It’s a phenomenal feeling. To be chosen by your peers to win this award is very special, it means so much to me.

“To be able to put in consistent performances has made it a great year. My bowling ticked along and after I scored that hundred at Essex in the second game of the season my form with the bat carried on throughout the summer. The quarter-final against Yorkshire was where I felt like this year is the one where everything’s going my way and everything clicked.

“I felt like I got in a groove where my body was in a good spot, not 100 per cent because of the schedule, but mentally I felt like I was in a great spot to be able to go out and perform when games come along near enough every other day.”

Somerset Women’s skipper Sophie Luff scored more than 1,000 runs this summer, 536 of those came in the Metro Bank One Day Cup where she averaged 41.23 and scored three fifties and two hundreds, with a highest score of 108.

The 32-year-old local also helped Trent Rockets to success in The Hundred and scored 397 runs in the Vitality Blast, including five half centuries and 119 runs in 100-ball tournament.

Sophie said: “To win this award is a huge honour. It’s super special people who 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.

“I’ve always been a leader that wants to lead from the front, but I think people are seeing that play out in games now. I think this year I’ve just showcased what I’m capable of.

Sophie added: “I’ve had a new role at Somerset opening the batting and it’s safe to say it’s gone pretty well.”
