Australian cricket great Beth Mooney has been named the Wisden Almanack’s women’s cricketer of the year for the second time during her distinguished career. 7NEWS
“You don’t play the game of cricket to win these awards or for personal accolades, you play for team success, and we certainly had a whole bunch of that this year, which was amazing to be a part of,” Mooney said after winning the Belinda Clark medal.
Stokes, who appears on the cover of the 160th edition alongside head coach Brendon McCullum, picked up the top award for 2022, following up back-to-back wins in 2019 and 2020. In all he has overseen 10 wins in 12 matches since taking the Test reins, rewarded for his attacking and imaginative approach.
“It’s hard to think of any other cricketer who could have transformed his team’s fortunes so suddenly as Ben Stokes,” said Wisden editor Lawrence Booth.
