Prince makes MVP move

Ashwell Prince, 38 today, has surged into the top five of the overall MVP rankings following his double-century in Lancashire’s LV= County Championship Division Two win over Derbyshire at Southport.

The veteran South African’s 349-ball 230, which included 28 fours and two sixes, took his run tally for the season to 875 in all competitions and elevated him to fourth in the standings.

Prince, who has already made two centuries and three fifties in first-class cricket this term, has contributed 22 per cent of Lancashire’s runs this season at a rate of 63 per 100 balls.
