SAIF ZAIB – (NORTHAMPTONSHIRE) – 61%
1,387 runs, average 66.04, six centuries, six half-centuries
Saif Zaib has been a beacon of light in a season of struggle for Northamptonshire.
Batting at number five, he has often been called upon to rescue a brittle batting line-up from which no other batter features in Division Two’s top twenty run-scorers.
He converted six of his 12 50-plus scores into three figures while also chipping in with 13 wickets with his slow left-armers.
The good news for Northants fans is he remains under contract until the end of the 2027 season.
TOM ABELL (SOMERSET) – 52%
1,022 runs, average 51.10, three centuries, five half-centuries
Though his side’s push for a maiden Division One title faltered in the final month of the season, 2025 was another fine year for Tom Abell.
A century in the penultimate round was his third of the campaign and saw him into four figures for the season with an average of more than 50.
The 31-year-old also helped his club to the T20 Blast title.
MARCUS HARRIS (LANCASHIRE) – 46%
1,027 runs, average 60.41, three centuries, five half-centuries
Former Australia Test batter Marcus Harris has had a year to remember after joining Lancashire.
The 33-year-old initially signed as an overseas for the Championship and One-Day Cup this summer but swiftly put pen to paper on a deal for another two years.
The former Leicestershire and Gloucestershire man – who has won 14 Test caps – made a blistering start, passing 800 runs in May, though his momentum did wane in the second half of the season as Lancashire were unable to mount a push for promotion from Division Two.
Having been part of the 2024 team, Glamorgan’s Colin Ingram was edged into fourth in the voting by Harris.
