FRESH off the back of batsman Adam Hose taking the Professional Cricketers' Association's (PCA) player of the month for June, another Worcestershire player is up for the award in July. 

Ethan Brookes is one of the four nominees for the July iteration of the award, following a string of outstanding performances in both formats for the county. 

The 24-year-old all-rounder scored 440 runs and took four wickets to claim 162.91 MVP points. He also won two MVP accolades for individuals matches. 

Brookes particularly starred in the Division One clash with rivals Warwickshire, where he hit 227 runs and achieved his First-Class career best score of 140 to take 61.99 MVP points. 

The month also saw Brookes take a record-breaking 50 off 18 balls against Nottinghamshire Outlaws in the Vitality T20 Blast, inspiring his side to an impressive victory.

The other three players put up for the award are Lancashire's Chris Green, Leicestershire's Rehan Ahmed and Surrey's Will Jacks. 

The award is chosen on a 50/50 split between both the PCA's MVP rankings, decided through points earned across the month, and a fan vote on the official website. 

The public vote closes at 10pm on Saturday, August 2. 

Teammate Adam Hose took the trophy last month after hitting 568 runs from nine games across both the Rothesay County Championship and the Vitality Blast.

His performances amassed him 145.85 MVP points in total, which earned him the gold alongside a 46.5 percent share of the public vote.
