Ayton said: "It is a nice recognition of all the work that all the partners have put in. It is an amazing feeling."
The Young Leader of the Year award recognises a young person who has demonstrated leadership skills through their involvement with umpiring, officiating and managing youth cricket at their local club.
The award judges were impressed by Chauhan's commitment to the Chance to Shine programme for completing more than 100 hours of volunteering through officiating.
He said: "I'm speechless. I have no words to describe this. I just want to thank the people who have put me up for the award."
