Talented England all-rounder Ben Stokes who had an unforgettable 2019 has been deservedly named the ICC Men’s Cricketer of the Year and will be given the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for the same.

It is worth highlighting that Stokes was adjudged the ‘Man of the Match’ in ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 final against New Zealand for helping England clinch the World Cup for the first time since the inception of the tournament. He even played one of the greatest Test match innings during the Ashes series.

“A World Cup winner and scorer of one of the greatest Test innings of all time, Ben Stokes is the winner of the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for the world player of the year. #ICCAwards,” the ICC tweeted.
