Nottinghamshire and England opener Ben Duckett has won the PCA’s Overall Men’s International Winter MVP, having finished top of the points table, powered by OFX.

The 30-year-old ended the winter with 212.85 MVP points, finishing ahead of fellow batters Harry Brook and Joe Root. He earned 185.85 batting points, more than anyone over the past six months and 21.00 fielding points thanks to his excellence in the outfield and in the slips.

In a winter where he cemented his place as England’s opener in all three formats, Duckett played 17 matches and went on to score 897 runs, averaging 40.77 and scoring at an impressive strike-rate of 100.11. This included amassing 442 runs in Tests at an average of 40.18 and 358 runs in six ODIs at a strike-rate of 113.29.

A consistent player at the top of the order, the Nottinghamshire batter also managed to register five fifties and two centuries.

The left-handed batter had an outstanding campaign at the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy held in Pakistan despite the shortcomings of the team. He ended the group phase as the tournament’s leading run scorer where he scored 227 runs at an average of 75.66, two more runs than second-placed Root.

Over the course of the winter, Duckett won two individual Match MVPs. The first one came against Pakistan in a Test match at Multan where the aggressive opener scored 114 off 129 deliveries in the first innings, including 16 fours, which saw him earn 32.07 points.

He picked up his second Match MVP during England’s opening game at the ICC Champions Trophy against Australia in Lahore. The opener registered his highest ODI score of 165 from 143 balls - briefly the highest individual score in the Champions Trophy at the time.

Duckett came out on top of the Overall Men’s International Winter MVP table despite tough competition from other batters.

England’s white-ball vice-captain Brook finished the winter second in the standings with 206.59 points, while Joe Root had the third-most MVP points with 187.53.
