He won the Players’ Choice nomination after being a very useful contributor in the other shorter versions of the game.
Michael Hussey won the Gold Cup for the fourth time in five years, while Wes Robinson collected the Excalibur award. Mitchell Marsh clinched the Future Legend prize after leading Australia to a World Cup win in the Under-19 World Cup while Rene Farrell became the first player to win back-to-back Zoe Goss Medals for being the best woman cricketer.
