Tasmanian opening batsman Ben Dunk has won the Ricky Ponting Medal as the state's best player over the 2015-16 season.
The 29-year-old Queensland-born left-hander, who has played for Australia in the Twenty20 format, was presented with the award in Hobart on Friday.
Ponting couldn't be at the gala event as he's in India for the World T20.
In February, Dunk - also a wicketkeeper - made his highest Sheffield Shield score of 190 against eventual champions Victoria.
Allrounder James Faulkner, a former winner of the Ponting Medal, was earlier on Friday named in Cricket Australia's contracted player list for 2016-17.
