Keith Barker has been nominated for PCA Player of the Month for April after an impressive start to the 2022 season.
One of the most consistent bowlers on the county circuit, Barker has once again enjoyed a fruitful start to the LV= Insurance County Championship season totalling 120.55 MVP points.
The left-arm seamer has taken 20 wickets in April giving him 82.63 MVP points. Barker took 6/53 in Hampshire's win over Kent at Canterbury and 5/67 against Lancashire at The Ageas Bowl.
Barker has also provided some handy runs down the order for Hampshire. The 35-year-old has scored 32.93 points for his contributions from number eight, including a half-century against Surrey at The Oval.

Barker was shortlisted alongside Derbyshire's Shan Masood, Kent's Ben Compton, and Yorkshire's Harry Brook.
The nominees are selected by the PCA's MVP, which is designed to identify the game's top performers. The MVP takes into consideration batting and bowling statistics as well as taking into account key match-defining contributions using a unique algorithm developed with CricViz - cricket's leading analytics experts.
The MVP will run throughout the 2022 campaign, and winners will be announced for each domestic competition, including an overall winner across multi formats.
The PCA Player of the Month is decided by public vote on thepca.co.uk – with the poll closing on Thursday 5 May at 3pm.
