International Cricketer of the Year

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

International Cricketer of the Year was an award given to the best player of the Australian summer cricket season, between 1979–80 and 1995–96.[1][2][3]

International Cricketer of the Year


The award was based on performances in tests and one day internationals. Because Australia almost always played more matches than visiting teams, points were "weighted" according to how many matches each team played.[1] The prize often included a car.[1][4]
