The PCA MVP Rankings system identifies the matchwinners and key influencers of fixtures throughout the domestic season. The formula takes into account conditions, quality of opposition, captaincy and strike rates, as well as runs scored and wickets taken.

Madsen is 50th in this season’s overall PCA MVP, which covers all competitions. In the T20 Blast rankings, Hardus Viljoen is Derbyshire’s second highest-placed player in 20th spot with 23 points from two matches.
