WILL BRAGG WINS PCA PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT SCHOLARSHIP AWARD


Will Bragg’s initiative in gaining qualifications and work experience throughout his county career has helped him win one of this year’s Professional Cricketers’ Association Personal Development Scholarship Awards. Bragg has gained a degree in civil engineering and post-graduate qualifications in wealth management while playing for Glamorgan and has also been active in securing internships and work placements to help him to prepare for life after cricket.


Now Bragg has scooped £1,000 in prize money as a winner, along with Derbyshire’s Billy Godleman, in the Current Players category of the awards. Bragg will use the money to fund further courses to further improve an already impressive CV.


“The money will reimburse my credit card because I’ve run up quite a few bills on my Personal Development. This will help to reimburse those costs and also to help pay for some future exams,” Bragg said.


“The PCA are a really pioneering organisation. I have friends from various other professional sports and they are nowhere near as advanced as we are at the PCA.”
