The International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced the winner list of ICC awards 2017 along with the skipper of both (men) ICC Test and ODI teams.
The vice-captain of English women cricket team Anya Shrubsole, who had stolen many hearts with her consoling gesture towards the Proteas skipper in the semi-final of Women’s World Cup 2017 between England and South Africa, won the ICC Spirit of Cricket award at the world governing body’s annual prize giving event.
