Yorkshire's opening batsmen Alex Lees and Adam Lyth both received honours at the Cricket Writers' Club Awards on Tuesday.

Their highly successful partnership was a key factor behind Yorkshire's success in the County Championship this season, and they were recognised by the association at Plaisterers' Hall in London.

Lyth, who scored a Division One-high 1,489 runs last season, was named the CWC Championship Player of the Year, while Lees picked up the Young Cricketer of the Year award.

Lees scored 971 runs at an average of 44.13 in the County Championship.
