Bradford District and Yorkshire England duo up for prizes

The Keighley native is still only 23, but has forced his way into the England reckoning, making his mark in the T20 side and being in contention for a place in the Test side's middle order.

Brook was the PCA's Men's Young Player of the Year for 2021, and he continued his good form from last year at the start of 2022.

Not only did he make his England T20 debut in the West Indies, but he lit up the Pakistan Super League, blasting 264 runs in the competition at an average of 52.8.

His early season form for Yorkshire saw him named as the PCA Men's Player of the Month for May, and he was in turn named in every England Test squad this summer.

Following 967 Championship runs at an average of 107.4 and 436 runs in the Vitality Blast, striking at 164, Brook has built on his stellar 2021 and his performances in the last couple of weeks in England 4-3 international T20 series win in Pakistan have made him a strong contender to start for his country at the upcoming T20 World Cup in Australia.

Brook's Yorkshire team-mate, Bradford-born Jonny Bairstow, has also been nominated for the PCA's Men's Player of the Year award.

The 33-year-old has already scooped the PCA's Test Player of the Summer for his incredible performances, and he will be looking to add this prize to his collection too.

In Test matches, Bairstow scored 681 runs at an average of 75.6 with a brutal strike rate of 96.6, including four brilliant hundreds that will live long in the memory.

Against New Zealand in the second Test, Bairstow scored an unbelievable 132 off just 92 balls and then backed it up with 162 and 71 not out in the third Test.

The Yorkshireman also scored two hundreds against India as England chased down their record total to win a game.

Bairstow scored 964 international runs this summer, including 147 in international T20 cricket, with 90 against South Africa his stand out performance in that format.
