Kent duo nominated for PCA award
Saturday 2nd June 2018
Spitfires stars Joe Denly and Matt Henry have been shortlisted for the PCA Player of the Month for May after excellent performances in the Specsavers County Championship and Royal London One-Day Cup.
Denly broke the club record individual score with 150 not out against Glamorgan as well as taking four wickets in a superb all-round display at The Spitfire Ground to climb to the top of the One-Day PCA Most Valuable Player ratings.
Henry has taken 48 wickets in 10 matches and leads the Championship MVP pace with 37 wickets in his first four matches. He was capped by the county last week in recognition of an unprecedented start to his Kent career.

The MVP formula was designed by the players to identify the match-winners and key influencers of matches throughout the domestic and international season.
An innovation which provides a more rigorous analysis of player performances than traditional batting and bowling averages, the MVP formula gives full credit to those players whose performances improve their team’s chances of winning.
Points are accrued for all runs scored and wickets taken, these are then adjusted within the context of the match to take into account strike rates and economy rates.
Runs gain more points if they are scored quickly or in low-scoring contests. Top order wickets are judged more valuable than those that fall later.
Catches, run-outs and stumpings are also accounted for as well as bonus points for captains and players who are on the victorious side.
The player who tops the overall PCA County MVP Rankings at the end of the season receives a £10,000 reward.
Voting closes at 8pm on Sunday 3 June.
