SANGAKKARA STARS AT SURREY CLUB’S ANNUAL END OF SEASON AWARDS
The great Sri Lankan, who will retire from first-class cricket at the end of the season, was honoured with the Members’ Player of the Year, Player of the Year, Sylvester Clarke Large Rum Moment, Kia Batsman of the Year and Players’ Player of the Year gongs.
Presented the awards by a number of the club’s hierarchy in front of a standing ovation from members in the Jardine Suite at the Kia Oval, Sangakkara celebrated a campaign that has seen him score eight first-class centuries so far.
On top of that, the 39-year-old was presented with an honorary life membership presented by Surrey chairman Richard Thompson before delivering a rousing speech that left Surrey members reflecting on the three years the batsman has spent with the club.
Ollie Pope’s innovative batting throughout that white ball form saw him pick up both the Supporters Club and Kia Young Player of the Year gongs. The 19-year-old batsman also reached his maiden County Championship century during the draw with Hampshire.
