Davina Perrin named PCA Young Player of the Year

Warwickshire's Davina Perrin has won the highly coveted PCA Women's Young Player of the Year award.

The 18-year-old was named in the PCA’s Team of the Year earlier this week after her exploits for the Bears and Northern Supercharges during the 2025 season.

She was instrumental in helping the Bears reach the inaugural Women’s T20 Blast Finals day, finishing second in the run-scoring chart.

Perrin also scored her first professional hundred against Surrey in June, before catapulting herself onto the main stage with the fastest century ever scored in the women’s Hundred competition off just 42 balls.

Toyota PCA Women’s Young Player of the Year, Perrin, said: “I was a bit shocked, to be honest. There’s been some great performances from young players, especially Ailsa (Lister) and Ella (McCaughan), who have had unbelievable seasons. It always means more when voted for by your peers.

“Winning The Hundred was a standout moment, and to contribute with the century in the Eliminator was great for the team and my family. Finals Day with the Bears was enjoyable, and we showed what we were capable of.

“It’s almost surreal, I’d never played in front of crowds as big as in The Hundred, and when you’ve got a great team around you, it makes it even more special. It was a great weekend.

“It’s been a massive year for the women’s game with the new structure, and it will be nice to reflect at the PCA Awards and celebrate that.

“The biggest thing for me is that I’m maximising my potential and hopefully the England honours will come.”
