Pat Cummins has become the first Australian since 2012 to be named Wisden's leading cricketer in the world.
Other Aussies honoured by cricket's 'Bible' are Travis Head, for the year's best performance in Test matches, and Usman Khawaja, Mitchell Starc and Ashleigh Gardner, who are among the almanack's five cricketers of the year.
Cummins led his country to success in both the World Test Championship and 50-over World Cup. He succeeds Ben Stokes, who has landed the prestigious title three times in the last four years. The last Australian to garner the accolade was Michael Clarke.
