Stokes made 719 runs and claimed 12 wickets in 20 ODIs, during the voting period. But the standout performance came in the World Cup final at Lord’s, where his incredible resolve and determination pulled England out of the trenches to lift their first 50-over world title.

In Tests, he scored 821 runs, alongside 22 wickets, with the most memorable performance coming the third Ashes Test at Headingley, where his breathtaking assault on Australia, during a last-wicket partnership with Jack Leach, stunned the opposition and helped England pull off an unforgettable heist.

Marnus Labuschagne’s incredible run of form since becoming cricket’s first concussion substitute during the 2019 Ashes series has earned him the emerging player of the year honour.

Deepak Chahar’s T20I world record performance of 6-7 against Bangladesh in Nagpur won him the performance of the year for the shortest format, while Virat Kohli won the Spirit of Cricket award for his gesture towards Steve Smith during the World Cup round-robin fixture at the Oval, when the Indian skipper dissuaded a section of hostile Indian fans from booing the former Australia captain.

Kohli was also named captain of the Test and ODI teams of the year.
