Davina Perrin makes PCA Women’s Team of the Year

Davina Perrin has been selected for the 2025 Metro Bank PCA Women’s Team of the Year, which is chosen by using the PCA's MVP ranking system to select the statistically best team in the country.

Davina smashed a brilliant 1,009 runs in the domestic calendar, including a scintillating 42-ball century in the Hundred eliminator, to book her spot in the batting order of this team.

With seven out of the eight counties represented, The Blaze’s Kathryn Bryce captains this world-beating side for the second successive year, which saw her dominance of domestic cricket continue. The 27-year-old produced a phenomenal all-round season in the first season of Tier 1 cricket, which resulted in a duo of individual accolades, winning the Metro Bank One Day Cup Women’s Player of the Year and the PCA Women’s Domestic Overall MVP. Bryce is also nominated for the Toyota PCA Women’s Player of the Year award, which she won in 2024.

Hampshire captain Georgia Adams returns to the side for a record fourth occasion, having missed out in 2024. There are also recalls for Lancashire’s Emma Lamb, who is nominated alongside Bryce at the PCA Awards, and Durham’s Katie Levick. Both have been selected in the team for the third time with Lamb featuring in 2021 and 2022 and Levick in 2022 and 2023.

The PCA Most Valuable Player Rankings selects a well-balanced side with MVP points from the Vitality Blast, Metro Bank One Day Cup and The Hundred all taken into consideration.

The MVP takes into account batting, bowling and fielding contributions as well as match-defining efforts using a unique algorithm developed by CricViz. Therefore, the top 11 players according to the MVP points are not automatically selected, with the likes of Somerset’s Amanda-Jade Wellington and Surrey’s Danni Wyatt-Hodge unlucky due to the strength of fellow all-rounders and opening batters.

The PCA Awards in partnership with Toyota takes place at Exhibition White City, London on Thursday 9 October where the most prestigious awards ceremony in the game will celebrate the top performing players in international and domestic cricket.

All players selected in the 2025 Metro Bank PCA Women’s Team of the Year will receive a personalised winners medal from official trophy partner, Mappin & Webb.
