As a result, she has now been included in a special nomination, which the PCA celebrated by echoing Ella McCaughan’s words.
Maia Bouchier Earns Toyota PCA Women’s Player of the Year Nomination
Following her brilliant performances, the English cricketer has been nominated for the Toyota PCA Women’s Player of the Year Award. To make the moment even more special, the PCA shared a video in which Bouchier’s Hampshire Women teammate Ella McCaughan can be seen honouring her, with the team also seen cheering for her.
McCaughan was also seen reading out some cherished words for Bouchier.
McCaughan said, “In July, I presented the PCA player of the month award to our very own Bouchier. After the incredible run of form she continued to dominate, scoring around 1,000 runs for Hampshire this season.”
“You’ve now been shortlisted for PCA Women’s Player of the Year. It couldn’t be more deserved. We’re all so proud of you, so congratulations,” she added.
After making the announcement, McCaughan moved towards Bouchier and hugged her, while the Hampshire Women’s team started clapping and cheering for the 27-year-old.
Talking about the Greater London-born cricketer, she scored 721 runs in 11 innings for Hampshire this season. Two of Bouchier’s most notable performances came against Surrey Women on September 15, 2026, when she scored an unbeaten 117, and against The Blaze Women on September 8, 2026, when she made 118.
Looking at the nominees for the 2026 Toyota PCA Women’s Player of the Year, the other names on the list alongside Bouchier are Sophia Dunkley, Sophie Luff, and Mady Villiers.
