England captain Joe Root won the Test Player of the Year honours to prevent a sweep of the men's awards by Pakistan. Pakistan captain Babar was adjudged One-Day Cricketer of the Year while his deputy Rizwan grabbed the T20 award. A fourth Pakistan cricketer, Fatima Sana, won the Emerging Women's Cricketer of the year award. "If there was one hundred that really sticks out it would probably be in Chennai against India," Root said referring to his stellar 218 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. In the women's category, India opener Smriti Mandhana won the Cricketer of the Year award.
