Former Peterborough Town all-rounder Rob Sayer, who's younger brother David is a PTCC 1st XI regular, has won Leicestershire County Cricket Club’s young player-of-the year prize for 2016.
From the Peterborough Telegraph:
Sayer (21), who played for England in an under 19 world cup, broke into the first-team this season, making three first-class appearances and five appearances in the domestic T20 blast.
Sayer’s progress has been good enough to earn him a winter in New Zealand where he will develop his skills as an off-spinner with former Kiwi Test player Jeetan Patel.
The posting is made under the ECB Overseas Placement programme and Sayer, from Ramsey St Mary, is one of just nine English players to be selected for this winter.
Sayer learnt his cricket originally at Upwood CC and was a star player for Hunts in his teenage years.
