Across all formats, Sutherland scored 798 runs at 46.94 and took 34 wickets at 20.82.
With regards to the men, Travis Head capped a wonderful year with the bat for Australia by securing his first Allan Border Medal beating teammates Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood for the same.
Across all formats, Head scored 1427 runs at an average of 43.24 with five half-centuries and four hundreds.
Head also won the Men’s ODI Player of the Year Award, edging out Alex Carey off the back of a dominant performance in Australia’s Tour of the United Kingdom.
Hazlewood though would find recognition, winning the Shane Warne Men’s Test Player of the Year Award for his incredible tally of 30 wickets at an incredible average of just 13.17, with two five wicket hauls.
Leg spinner Adam Zampa was awarded the title of the Men’s T20 International Player of the Year after a consistent year that included the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in the West Indies and USA, which saw the leggie take 35 wickets, 14 more than anyone else, at an average of 17.2.
