Trescothick wins players' award
 Trescothick was the leading first-class run scorer in county cricket |
Marcus Trescothick has been named as the Professional Cricketers' Association's Player of the Year.
The Somerset opener has been in superb form all season, scoring 2,934 runs in all competitions, scooping the PCA's most valuable player award last month.
The 33-year-old, who quit Test cricket in 2008, is in India with his county for the Twenty20 Champions League.
Leicestershire batsman James Taylor was voted Young Player of the Year after scoring 1,177 runs in 16 matches.
The 19-year-old held off stuff competition from 2007 winner Adil Rashid and England Ashes-winning fast bowler Stuart Broad.
Taylor's progress was one of the few positives to come out of Leicestershire's season having finished bottom of the second division.
Trescothick and England captain Andrew Strauss, who collected the Special Merit Award, were named in the PCA Team of the Year alongside England stars Broad, Graham Onions and Jonathan Trott.
