Sophie named in PCA MVP Team for May
The MVP Teams of the Month for May have been announced using the PCA’s Most Valuable Player Rankings, powered by OFX.
The women’s team includes Somerset Captain, Sophie Luff.
Using the MVP’s unique algorithms, players have been picked based on their prowess with the bat, ball and in the field across the month of May with as many as 13 sides represented across the two teams.
The women’s side is captained by The Blaze all-rounder Georgia Elwiss who picked up 118.15 MVP points in May, the highest tally in the women’s game. She is joined by her fellow teammate and reigning PCA Women’s Domestic Overall MVP winner Kathryn Bryce. The Scotland captain finds herself in the PCA Women’s Team of the Month for the second time in 2025.
Lancashire’s Emma Lamb opens the batting for a second straight month and is joined by Essex captain Grace Scrivens.
Durham, meanwhile, have the most players named in the team with three, batter Suzie Bates, all-rounder Mady Villiers and wicketkeeper Bess Heath.
Warwickshire lead the team’s bowling contingent with Issy Wong and Georgia Davis. The latter earned the most bowling points in May with 41.92 after taking 11 wickets across the month.
It was a productive May for Sophie who amassed 321 runs across the formats during the month, including a best of 111 not out against Warwickshire in the Metro Bank One Day Cup.
The PCA’s MVP system works by comparing a player’s accomplishments against the expected performance for that game. Runs and wickets achieved at each ground are also considered and compared to the average. This enables players to score or lose MVP points on every ball through CricViz’s extensive historical database, the rankings are a true reflection of performance.
