Behind the scenes at the PCA Awards with Test Match Special

Somerset duo land the main prizes

It was a night to remember for Somerset, with the county providing both of the evening's headline winners. Craig Overton and Sophie Luff took home the main prizes from the men's and women's game respectively, and the podcast hears from the Somerset duo about their standout seasons.

Young talent and bowlers chasing England spots

The next generation was also celebrated on the night, with Sonny Baker picking up the young player of the year award after a breakout campaign. Shemilt also sits down with two bowlers attempting to establish themselves in the full England side, Sam Cook and Henry Crocombe, as they discuss their progress and ambitions at the top level.

A landmark summer for the women's game

England spinner Charlie Dean is among the guests, having found herself leading the team for much of what proved a hugely significant summer for the women's side. She reflects on that responsibility during an episode that also catches up with Kate Cross, who was one of those honoured at the awards in recognition of her contribution to the game.

Treble winners and the PCA President

The honours continued apace for The Blaze, with Kirstie Gordon and Georgia Elwiss talking through their side's treble-winning season. Meanwhile, Warwickshire's Oliver Hannon-Dalby — who was part of the county's County Championship-winning side and also serves as PCA President — offers his perspective on a memorable year both on and off the field.

The full episode is available to listen to on BBC Sounds, offering an inside look at the awards ceremony that crowned the domestic cricket season's standout performers.
