ECB announces winners of England Cricketer of Year Awards for 2012-2013
ECB today announced that Katherine Brunt has been named female England Women's Cricketer of the Year for 2012-2013.
She was honoured at a special dinner held in the Long Room at Lord's this evening which was hosted by ECB and Brit Insurance, the sponsor of all England's cricket teams.
The awards recognise outstanding performances in all formats of international cricket over the past year beginning with last summer's domestic international programme and encompassing the recent winter tours.
England pace bowler Katherine Brunt won the Women's award for a third time after previous triumphs in 2006 and 2010 following a year in which she proved to be England's most consistent performer with the ball - picking up twelve wickets in England's recent ICC Women's World Cup campaign in India. Her fellow nominees were Holly Colvin, Charlotte Edwards and Sarah Taylor.
ECB Chief Executive David Collier said: "There have some memorable individual performances across all our England teams over the past year - a 12 month period which saw the England Women complete a clean sweep of four NatWest series wins at home last summer.
"We congratulate the winner Katherine, on her individual achievement and thank all those who took part in the judging process as well as our team sponsor Brit, and the MCC, for their help in staging our annual awards ceremony."
