WORCESTERSHIRE all-rounder Brett D’Oliveira is the joint leader in the NatWest T20 Blast Professional Cricketers’ Association Most Valuable Player Rankings.

D’Oliveira, the third generation of his family to play for Worcestershire, took two PCA MVP points from last night’s rain-ruined match against Durham to move level on 93 points with Glamorgan’s Colin Ingram at the top of the NatWest T20 Blast table.

D’Oliveira is in seventh place in the overall PCA MVP table with 218 points, 27 behind his county team-mate Joe Leach who remains the leader.

The PCA MVP was introduced in 2007 and is designed by the players to find the cricketers who really win matches by combining all aspects of a player’s performance to give a ranking in relation to his peers.

The revised 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.
