Brisbane Heat batsman Chris Lynn has been named as the Big Bash League's player of the tournament.

Lynn, who was the tournament's highest run scorer of the regular season, polled 22 votes to finish ahead of a trio of Adelaide Strikers - spinner Adil Rashid (17 votes), Mahela Jayawardena (15 votes) and Travis Head (14 votes) - with Melbourne Renegades skipper Aaron Finch (12 votes) fifth.

Head won the BBL's Young Gun award, for the best player aged under 25.

Both officiating umpires in each match cast 3-2-1 votes for the awards, with Lynn rewarded for his consistent big-hitting - he smacked 27 sixes and 23 fours in the tournament.

Lynn scored 378 runs off 218 balls with a highest score of 101.
