Ben Duckett, the Northamptonshire left-hander who has been included in Englands one-day and Test squads, has been named the Cricket Writers Club (CWC) Young Player of the Year.Duckett, 21, enjoyed a prolific 2016 season for his county and England Lions. In July, he struck a blistering 220 not out off 131 balls, including 29 fours and six sixes for the Lions in a one-day game against Sri Lanka A, but his highest score of the summer was an unbeaten 282 in the County Championship against Sussex.His tally of 1,338 runs in the County Championship included four hundreds, while he also helped Northamptonshire win the Twenty20 Blast.First presented in 1950, and one of the oldest such honours in cricket, the award, which by tradition is won just once in a career, is restricted to England-qualified players under the age of 23 on May 1. Previous winners of the Cricket Writers Club Young Player of the Year award have amassed more than 2,500 Test caps between them. Duckett is the first Northamptonshire player to receive the award since former England batsman Rob Bailey, now an international umpire, in 1984.The County Championship Player of the Year award, presented in association with William Hill, was won by Durhams Keaton Jennings. The 24-year-old was the leading run-scorer in the competition with 1,548 runs at an average of 64.50 with seven hundreds, including a double century against Yorkshire and another when he carried his bat against Surrey. His career-best 88 in the final was also the highest score during T20 finals day. Jennings is the fifth recipient of an award first presented in 2012.Charlotte Edwards, the former England captain, was named the first winner of the CWC womens award. She led England to the final of the World T20 in India and finished as Englands leading run scorer, and the tournaments second highest scorer overall, only to be removed from the England captaincy in a controversial move as team management sought a fresh start.That decision prompted Edwards to retire from international cricket after more than 300 senior matches for her country but she still enjoyed a hugely successful domestic season. Edwards captained three sides to a unique treble in leading Kent to the 50-over County Championship title, the T20 title, and the Southern Vipers to victory in the inaugural T20 Super League.All the trophies, together with the Cricket Writers Club Book of the Year award, and the Peter Smith award for the promotion of cricket to the public, were presented during the course of the Clubs Annual Lunch - which marks the 70th anniversary of the club - at Londons Merchant Taylors Hall on Tuesday.

NEW YORK -- The 12-year association between the New York Yankees and Alex Rodriguez appears to be reaching its end game.In separate interviews Tuesday at CitiField, A-Rod delivered what at times sounded like a farewell address, and manager Joe Girardi acknowledged what has been obvious for the past month, that the 41-year-old DHs playing time, already drastically cut, is about to be further reduced.In maybe the near future, do I see him getting a ton of at-bats? No, I probably dont because of some of the changes that were possibly going to make here, Girardi said. Were going to take a look at probably some younger players here a little bit, see if we can add to some of the struggles weve had offensively and see if they can be some big bats in the lineup.No matter what happens Im at peace with myself, said Rodriguez, who was not in the starting lineup for Tuesday nights game against the Mets and has started only one game since July 22. I think I still can contribute. I think I can help out in the clubhouse. But If not I have two beautiful daughters waiting for me in Miami.Talk of an impending release of Rodriguez, who has one more year and $20 million left on his contract, heated up Monday when a New York tabloid, citing unnamed sources, said Rodriguez could be released before the end of the season.And owner Hal Steinbrenner, appearing on The Michael Kay Show on 98.7 ESPN FM, did not deny the report while saying that the Yankees had not yet discussed Rodriguezs fate.We have not discussed anything about what were going to be doing in the hours and days to come, Steinbrenner said. Weve just been focusing on trades. Ive seen the articles. I dont know where theyre coming from but none of that has been discussed with me.I hope not. I hope not, Rodriguez said in the visitors clubhouse Tuesday evening when asked if he believed the Yankees were about to release him. I spoke to [GM Brian] Cashman. He said they havent had a conversation, they havent thought about it. Again, thats out of my control.He then launched into what sounded like a retrospective of his Yankees career, which began when he was acquired in a trade with the Texas Rangers for Alfonso Soriano on Feb. 16, 2004.Look, Ive had a long career, Rodriguez said. Ive been through a lot. Im happy to be a Yankee. I love New York. I think I have a lot to contribute still. But you have to be realistic.Rodriguez pinch-hit in the ninth inning Tuesday night and hit a game-ending flyout to shallow right, just his seventh at-bat since July 22. His lack of production following a surprising 33-home-run season in 2015 is one of the main reasons the Yankees have flirted with mediocrity all season. The decision to part with the two dominant relief pitchers and?Carlos Beltran, the clubs best hitter, signaled an unprecedented era in Yankees baseball, the trade deadline fire sale.Nobody in this organization has quit anything, look what they did last night, Steinbrenner said, citing the Yankees 6-5, 10-inning victory Monday night.But the owner made it clear that the deadline-day deals signaled a youth movement for the Yankees, who have been hampered in recent years byy an aging roster and few major-league ready prospects in their system to replace them.ddddddddddddI think its not a big secret that we have struggled in our player development system, Steinbrenner said. But now I think some of them are legitimately ready for a shot. I think the futures looking bright.That future is unlikely to include Rodriguez, a reality that A-Rod seemed to understand and accept.Look, I have to look in the mirror, we have to look in the mirror, he said. Of course, I would love to play more. But I havent been good, and thats on me. I know that the organization has a brighter future today than it did last week and hopefully Im part of that equation. But if not I can accept it very clearly.A-Rods role in the Yankees starting lineup, already diminished because of his anemic offensive numbers -- .205 batting average, nine home runs, 29 RBIs and .611 OPS -- will be further reduced when the Yankees receive an influx of young players this week.The Yankees traded four players --?Aroldis Chapman, Andrew Miller, Ivan Nova?and Beltran -- before the trading deadline and added 12 prospects to their minor-league system. The open spots in their roster leave an opportunity for some of their long-time Triple-A prospects to join the team, and the intention seems to be to play them for the rest of the season to see what theyve got.Over the past four days, the Yankees have added outfielder Ben Gamel and pitcher Luis Severino from their Triple-A affiliate in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and catcher Gary Sanchez, the top-rated hitting prospect in their farm system, is expected to join the team Wednesday.The addition of Sanchez is expected to afford Girardi the flexibility of using him or Brian McCann in the DH spot, and the possible call-up of Tyler Austin in the near future could also create some DH at-bats for Mark Teixeira.Weve been looking for opportunities to get him into games, Girardi said. And thats something Ill continue to look for ways, but it could [mean fewer at-bats] because we talked about maybe calling some younger kids up and giving some at-bats to other people.Told it sounded like both he and Rodriguez were resigned to a parting of the ways sooner rather than later, Girardi said, Not necessarily. We havent sat down as an organization and said this is what were going to do. But this has been difficult for him. Difficult for this organization. And difficult for me.Rodriguez, who is four home runs short of 700, shrugged off suggestions that the Yankees were putting him in an untenable situation by requiring him to produce at the plate to get more at-bats, while at the same time reducing his chances to play.Look, Im one of the luckiest human beings on the planet, he said. I respect everything Cashman is doing. I trust Hal Steinbrenners plan. I will forever be a Yankee fan. I hope I can contribute. I hope I can stay here for the remainder of my contract. Its been a tough year for me, but I have a history of coming back. And whatever the results are, Im happy with. cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
