We are delighted to today announce that allrounder Ryan Higgins has been named as PCA Player of the Month for April.
During the
opening month of the season, Higgins excelled with both bat and ball – scoring 448
runs at an average of 112.00, which included a career-best score of 221 against
Glamorgan, his maiden double-century in first-class cricket.
Higgins
faced stiff competition for the award in a month which favoured batters right
across the country with 30,520 runs scored across 32 fixtures. Nottinghamshire’s
Joe Clarke (480 runs) was also nominated alongside Warwickshire duo Alex Davies
(481 runs) and Rob Yeates (386 runs & 11 wickets).
In addition,
he was named in the PCA’s Team of the Month.
Ryan Higgins said: “It was really nice to win the award again, scoring some runs and taking wickets has been great, I suppose parts of my game are suited to the early season.
“Scoring a double hundred at Lord’s was incredible, it was very favourable towards the batters but it was a great feeling.
“The Kookaburra was a nice challenge to bowl with but the conditions didn’t suit that style of ball, wickets have been quite slow with all the weather around.
“One of the main aims for the season is to get promotion to Division One and put our stamp down in the Vitality Blast, we’ve had some good recruitment which should help our chances, it’s an exciting side to be a part of.
“It means a lot to know that the fans are recognising my performances, I’m very appreciative of all those supporters that still turn up on the cold days in April, it’s been amazing to see the love for county cricket."
Congratulations
on the award Higgo from everyone at Middlesex Cricket! Well deserved.
