Player of the year award for Gibson


another county championship triumph, to claim the Professional Cricketers’ Association (PCA) award. Gibson took 80 wickets for Durham as they finished runners-up to Sussex, including all 10 in an innings against Hampshire.He also helped the county to two one-day titles — the Friends Provident Trophy and NatWest Pro40 (Sunday league) Division Two — and has been rewarded with a request to fill in as England’s fast-bowling consultant for the one-day tour of Sri Lanka which begins this week, with Allan Donald unavailable.Yorkshire’s teenage leg-spinning all-rounder Adil Rashid was named the PCA’s young player of the year, adding to the Cricket Writers’ award he picked up earlier this month.
