The International Cricket Council (ICC) have named the winners of its annual awards and the list features quite a few extraordinary names. The ICC attempts to celebrate and honour impressive performance in the sport across formats for the year and this list features some deserving names. Pat Cummins was named ICC Men's Cricketer of the Year for his exceptional performances across formats. Cummins led Australia to their maiden World Test Championship title, beating India in the final. That was not it. He subsequently went on to help Australia retain the Ashes with a drawn Test series against England. The icing on the cake was the ICC World Cup 2023 title, which Australia won, again beating India in the final. Not just as a captain but Cummins the bowler was exceptional as well in that game. England's Nat Sciver-Brunt won the ICC Women's Cricketer of the Year 2023 award for scoring 894 runs and taking nine wickets across formats. Virat Kohli Wins ICC Men’s ODI Cricketer of the Year Award 2023.
Virat Kohli capped off a great 2023 and was deservedly named Men's ODI Cricketer of the Year. He scored 1377 runs in 27 games while bossing the format. He also had a record-breaking World Cup campaign as well. Sri Lanka's Chamari Athapaththu was picked as Women's ODI Cricketer of the Year for her exceptional performances in the format. She also features as captain of the women's T20I and ODI teams of the year. Here’s the Heartwarming On-Field Gesture Which Won Zimbabwe the ICC Spirit of Cricket Award 2023 (Watch Video).
