England’s Nat Sciver-Brunt has been shortlisted for the ICC’s Women’s Cricketer of the Year prize, while Joe Root is nominated for the men’s Test award.
Sciver-Brunt won the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy in 2022 and is among four contenders to claim the award for the leading female player across all formats once more, after another superb year in which she scored almost 900 international runs and helped England to a memorable 8-8 Ashes draw with Australia. She faces competition from Australian pair Beth Mooney and Ash Gardner, as well as Sri Lanka’s Chamari Athapaththu.
