Somerset opener Marcus Trescothick was named English cricket's player of the year by his fellow professionals on Thursday after another prolific batting season.
The former England batsman scored 2,934 runs in all cricket, including 1,817 first-class runs at an average of 75.70.
Trescothick, who will take over the Somerset captaincy next season, had already won the Most Valuable Player award, which was given automatically on a points tally secured by his runs but Thursday's honour was the result of a vote by his fellow professionals in the Professional Cricketer's Association.
Leicestershire's 19-year-old batsman James Taylor, who also topped the 1,000 runs mark, was named the young player of the year.
