England all-rounder Ben Stokes named Wisden Cricketer of the Year

Ben Stokes has dismount, Virat Kohli, as Wisden’s cricketer of the Year in the world, ending the India captain’s three-year reign.

The Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack 2020, published on Thursday, crowns Stokes as the sport’s pre-eminent player– the first Englishman to receive the prestigious honor since Andrew Flintoff in 2005.

The award is the latest to be bestowed upon the 28-year-old all-rounder following his heroic exploits last summer when he inspired his team to an unforgettable triumph in the World Cup before producing one of the greatest innings of all time to win the Ashes Test at Headingley.

Stokes’ other recent award includes the BBC Sports Personality of the Year in December and the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for ICC men’s player of the year; however, praise from the famous ‘yellow book’ has always held a unique place in cricketing culture.

Editor Lawrence Booth stated: “Ben Stokes pulled off the performance of a lifetime twice in the space of a few weeks. With a mixture of outrageous talent and good fortune, he rescued England’s run-chase in the World Cup final, before helping them to hit 15 off the super over.

“Then, in the third Ashes Test at Headingley, he produced one of the great innings, smashing an unbeaten 135 to pinch a one-wicket win Against red ball or white, he was a force of nature.”

Wisden has also revealed its five cricketers of the year, led by Stokes’ World Cup winning teammate.

Jofra Archer ruling out all of those who have already had their moment and is based primarily on performances during the English summer.

Archer was a certainty to make a list, having had a seismic impact since his long-awaited international bow in May.

He quickly became a first-choice player in an England one-day side which had otherwise been thoroughly molded over four years and, by the time the Lord’s finale came down to its last six deliveries, it was the Barbados-born paceman who stood up to be counted by sending down the super over.

He was just as important to the Ashes, bowling at speed on Test debut in a battle with Steve Smith that will live long in the memory.

Of the remaining order, three are Australian with nods for Pat Cummins, Marnus Labuschagne, and Ellyse Perry, who also reclaimed the leading women’s cricketer in the world title from Smriti Mandhana.

Cummins, currently ranked as the world’s number one Test bowler by the ICC, was a dominant force as Australia retained the Ashes urn in a 2-2 series draw, taking 29 wickets at 19.62 He also contributed 14 wickets to his country’s unsuccessful World Cup defense.

Labuschagne would have been considered a long shot for such acknowledgment at the start of the summer but went from strength to strength after becoming international cricket’s first concussion substitute after the brutal conclusion Archer versus Smith.

He went on to average more than 50 and has gone from the backup player to number three batsman in the Test standings.

Essex spinner Simon Harmer flies the flag for the county game The South Africa-born Kolpak signing has ended up being the leading slow bowler in the domestic game and topped the Specsavers County Championship wickets chart with 83 wickets in a title-winning campaign as well as captaining the club’s maiden victory in the Vitality Blast.
