At the TAS Turkish restaurant in central London, the Allstars gathered to celebrate a fantastic 2023 season and honour this year’s award winners!
Allstar of the Year 1: Raghavendra, for an outstanding debut season, our leading run scorer with 305 runs, and one of the greatest innings in our history, his stunning maiden hundred in our victory over Mighty Wanderers. Allstar of the Year 2: Pradesh Deveraj, for another outstanding first season, our leading wicket taker with 15 wickets and his part in the last wicket stand of 49 which clinched victory over Mighty Wanderers. Allstar of the Year 3: Sheahan Arnott, for another excellent year where he has given so much on and off the pitch to us – and capped it with a memorable hat-trick in, yes, that same game with Mighty Wanderers. Allstar of the Year 4: Amit Deverathippa, another serial winner and our leading all-rounder with 143 runs and 10 wickets. Allstar of the Year 5: Jimmy Scott, for his canny off-spin bowling and being the life and soul of our team.And finally … our skipper Pete Cresswell deservedly receives our long service award from his great mate Haroon Khalid. A special presentation to Pete, as he proudly shows off an Allstars shirt signed by us all. We’ll miss him when he returns to New Zealand, but he’d better return for that 100th Allstars cap!
