Haseeb Hameed scooped a brace of prizes at Nottinghamshire’s End of Season Awards Dinner, with his 1,091 First-Class runs for the season contributing to him earning the Overall and Vitality County Championship Player of the Season titles.
His red-ball runs came at an average of 51.95, and included three centuries and four fifties whilst the Green and Golds secured safety in Division One under his leadership.
He also finished as Notts’ second top run-scorer in the Metro Bank One Day Cup with 345 at 57.50 with two tons and a half-century in the tournament.
The only man to beat his tally, Ben Slater, won the Metro Bank One Day Cup Player of the Year award, whilst Joe Clarke, Freddie McCann, Farhan Ahmed and Sam Seecharan were also recognised on the night.
The Charles Vernon Price Memorial Plate
Sam Seecharan won the Academy Most Improved Player of the Season, having recently signed his maiden professional contract with his home county.
The teenager has scored over 1000 runs at 46.82 across formats for Notts’ Under 18s, including a high score of 151 versus Leicestershire in a three-day fixture.
He also scored an accomplished half-century against Durham in the Second XI Championship as the Green and Golds beat the visitors by an innings and 60 runs at Lady Bay.
Emerging Player of the Season
16-year-old Farhan Ahmed made an immediate splash in First-Class cricket, claiming 10 wickets on debut against eventual champions Surrey - becoming the youngest player in County Championship history to take a five and ten-wicket haul in the process.
That feat followed his List A debut in the Metro Bank One Day Cup, and representation for England U19s across the summer in Youth ODIs and Youth Tests versus Sri Lanka.
He finished the season with 22 wickets in four County Championship games, at an average of 23.23, with an economy under three.
Freddie McCann shares the award, a year on from winning the Charles Vernon Price Memorial Plate.
The 19-year-old made his maiden Notts bow in T20, 50 over and First-Class cricket 2024, as well as equalling the highest U19 ODI score with 174 against Sri Lanka.
He showed a penchant for performing on debut with 48 from 32 balls against Yorkshire on his first Vitality Blast appearance, before a half-century against Durham on his maiden County Championship start.
One fixture later, against Surrey at Trent Bridge, the left-hander made 154 against an attack including Dan Worrall and Jordan Clark, before another Trent Bridge ton against Warwickshire in the final game of the season.
Metro Bank One Day Cup Player of the Season
Only eight players across the Metro Bank One Day Cup scored more than Ben Slater’s 398 runs, despite the opener featuring in fewer games than all of those above him.
They came at 56.85, boosting his total List A average to 52.85 across 65 innings - putting him in the top 10 of active List A cricketers globally.
He tallied two tons - against Sussex and Surrey, the latter of which being his List A best of 164 of 119 balls - whilst only three players hit more than his 46 boundaries in the competition.
Vitality Blast Player Player of the Season
In his first season leading Notts Outlaws in the Vitality Blast, Joe Clarke finished as his side’s top run-scorer with 306.
Only 11 players in the competition to have scored as many did so at a better rate, with the 28-year-old striking at over 151.
His top score of 79 off 41 balls helped the home side to 175/5 from 17 overs against Leicestershire before the game was abandoned, while he passed 2000 runs for the Outlaws during the season, becoming only the fourth player to reach that milestone.
County Championship/Overall Player of the Season
Having been made club captain of Nottinghamshire in the winter, Hasseb Hameed led from the front with bat in hand in both red and white-ball cricket.
Only David Bedingham and Alex Davies scored more runs in the top tier of the County Championship, with Hameed’s 2050 balls faced being the most in the competition.
Whilst his side missed out on qualification in the Metro Bank One Day Cup by three points, his own average was bettered by only four players with as many runs, whilst just top-scorer Peter Handscomb managed more than Hameed’s two tons.
