Jonathan Trott the England batsman, has been named the Cricketer
of the Year for 2011, the ICC's top accolade. He received the Sir
Garfield Sobers trophy at the annual ceremony in London, after his
team-mate Alastair Cook had won the Test Cricketer of the Year award.
"It's fantastic to be part of a successful team and I never envisaged
winning this award. It's a brilliant feeling to be recognised," Trott
said.
In 12 Tests during the period under consideration, Trott scored 1042
runs at an average of 65.12, including four centuries and three
half-centuries. He also played 24 ODIs, scoring 1064 runs at an average
of 48.36 with two centuries and nine 50s. Trott was chosen for the award
ahead of Cook, last-year's winner Sachin Tendulkar and South Africa
batsman Hashim Amla.
Previous winners of the Cricketer of the Year award include Rahul Dravid
(2004), Andrew Flintoff and Jacques Kallis (joint winners in 2005),
Ricky Ponting (2006 and 2007), Shivnarine Chanderpaul (2008), Mitchell
Johnson (2009) and Sachin Tendulkar (2010).
