Glamorgan all-rounder Colin Ingram has strengthened his position at the top of the NatWest T20 Blast Professional Cricketers’ Association Most Valuable Player Rankings.
Having pummelled a 46-ball century against Sussex at Arundel, Ingram followed up with 114 from 55 balls to help Glamorgan complete a spectacular run chase against Essex at Chelmsford.
The former South Africa international was rewarded with 39 rankings points which took him to 96 for the season in the competition. Ingram now has a 15 points advantage over Derbyshire’s Wayne Madsen who moved into second place after he made a half century in yesterday’s victory over Worcestershire at New Road.
Ingram has already finished top of this season’s PCA MVP for the Royal London One Day Cup and he is second in the overall rankings which cover all formats. Ingram has 341 points and is 37 points behind Surrey’s former Sri Lanka batsman Kumar Sangakkara, the overall leader.
