Durham’s Hollie Armitage and Mady Villiers have been selected in The 2026 Metro Bank PCA Women’s Team of the Year.
The 2026 Metro Bank PCA Women’s Team of the Year has been selected by the PCA Most Valuable Player Rankings, powered by OFX, creating the best statistical player XI from women’s domestic cricket this summer.
Yorkshire’s Jess Jonassen captains the side thanks to her dominating performances in 2026. The 33-year-old Australian enjoyed a phenomenal season which resulted in a pair of individual accolades, winning both the Metro Bank One Day Cup Women’s Player of the Year and the PCA Women’s Domestic Overall MVP.
Incredibly, Hampshire captain Georgia Adams returns to the side for a record fifth occasion, a feat never achieved before. She is joined in the team alongside four players who have been shortlisted for honours at the PCA Awards. Those include Durham’s Mady Villiers who is only the second player, alongside Adams to return to the team after being awarded a place in 2025.
Sophie Luff makes the XI for a second occasion, following her success in 2021. The Blaze’s Charley Phillips and Hampshire’s Maia Bouchier make the side and are also in the running to win honours at the most prestigious awards ceremony in cricket.
The PCA Most Valuable Player Rankings selects a well-balanced side with MVP points from the Vitality Blast, Metro Bank One Day Cup and The Hundred all taken into consideration. The MVP takes into account batting, bowling and fielding contributions as well as match defining efforts using a unique algorithm developed by CricViz. Therefore, the top 11 players according to the MVP points are not automatically selected. The team is also restricted to two overseas players, with Charli Knott unlucky to miss out on selection due to the exceptional seasons of Australian duo Jonassen and Amanda-Jade Wellington.
The PCA Awards in partnership with Toyota takes place at Exhibition White City, London on Wednesday 30 September where the most prestigious awards ceremony in the game will celebrate the top performing players in international and domestic cricket.
All players selected in the 2026 Metro Bank PCA Women’s Team of the Year will receive a personalised winners medal.
