Harry Brook has been named Members’ Player of the Year for the second year in a row.
The 23-year-old averaged an impressive 107.44 in the LV=County Championship which led to his first Test Match call-up. The Keighley-born batter has become a regular in all formats for England this season and was named Player of the Series during their seven game IT20 series in Pakistan. Brook looks set to retain his place for the T20 World Cup in a few weeks’ time alongside fellow Yorkshire team-mates Adil Rashid and Dawid Malan.
Brook has also been recognised by his fellow team-mates by winning the joint Players’ Player of the Year with Steven Patterson. Patterson took 37 wickets in the 2022 County Championship averaging 27.56.

It was a breakthrough year for George Hill who took home the Young Player of the Year award. The 2022 season was a year of firsts for the batting all-rounder who scored his maiden LV= County Championship and Royal London One Day Cup hundreds, as well as taking his first five-wicket haul. The 21-year-old claimed 20 wickets in First-Class matches at an average of 21.10.
The Howard Clayton 2nd XI Performance of the Season winner was awarded to Finlay Bean for the batter’s magnificent quadruple century against Nottinghamshire. Bean broke the record for highest 2nd XI Championship individual score after smashing 441 runs off 518 balls, surpassing the previous record of 322 set 25 years ago by Somerset’s Marcus Trescothick.
