Kirstie Gordon has been nominated for May’s PCA Women’s Most Valuable Player award, following a sustained run of form across the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy and Charlotte Edwards Cup which has seen her retain her place at the top of the points table. 

The Blaze captain enjoyed a brilliant month, collecting 135 MVP points in the period - the product of nine wickets in the 50 over tournament and eight in the T20. 

She also proved a star turn with the bat, moving to the top of the order in longer format

Also in the running, Amanda-Jade Wellington continued her fine start to the season, securing a nomination for the second month in a row with Central Sparks' Eve Jones in third position. Thunder all-rounder Fi Morris takes the final spot of a competitive top four.

The PCA’s Most Valuable Player Rankings, powered by Argentex, picks out the game’s top performers across every single fixture. 

This then forms the rankings for each competition, as well as an overall table which is how the top four is selected. The MVP takes into account batting, bowling and fielding contributions as well as match defining contributions using a unique algorithm developed with CricViz.

The PCA Player of the Month is decided by a 50:50 split between the PCA MVP Rankings and the public vote on thepca.co.uk – with the poll closing on 5 June at 10pm.
