"At one stage during the season Kade Brown spoke to me about the possibility of winning and some of the players to have won the award," Dixon revealed.

The 28-year-old was skipper of Lancashire under 19s, which included English rep Liam Livingstone.

Meanwhile, Shaikh won the batting with 836 runs at 60.
