Cricket: Travis Head has smashed records on a night of carnage in the IPL with the Australian doing what nobody else has in the competition.
Australia captain Pat Cummins has been named the Leading Cricketer in the World by Wisden to coincide with the publication of the 161st edition of the sport’s “bible”.
His side retained the Ashes before he captained them to a 50-over World Cup final win against tournament hosts India in Ahmedabad.Head explodes in absurd 39-ball century! | 03:25“After captaining Australia to success in the World Test Championship, Pat Cummins retained the Ashes -- thanks in no small part to his late-order runs in the first Test at Edgbaston -- then led Australia to victory in the World Cup final in India,” said Wisden editor Lawrence Booth.
Wisden also names five Cricketers of the Year -- an award that can only be won once in a career -- and is generally based on performances in the previous English season. Opening batsman Khawaja was honoured for an Ashes tally of 496 runs and fast bowler Starc for his 23 wickets in the series.
