Amelia Kerr Crowned ICC Women’s T20I Cricketer Of The Year For 2024
T20I Cricketer: New Zealand all-rounder Amelia Kerr has been named as winner of ICC Women’s T20I Cricketer of the Year award for 2024. She beat competition from Ireland all-rounder Orla Prendergast, Sri Lanka captain Chamari Athapaththu and South Africa skipper Laura Wolvaardt to get the coveted honour.
Amelia has also become the second New Zealand women’s cricketer after the veteran Suzie Bates (2016) to have won this award. In 2024, Amelia was at the peak of her powers in T20Is by amassing 387 runs at an average of 24.18 while picking 29 wickets at an average of 15.55 in a landmark year where New Zealand won the T20 World Cup for the first time.
“It's a huge honour to win the ICC Women’s T20I Cricketer of the Year award. With it being a T20 World Cup year, this format was really important. I love the responsibility that the White Ferns have given me and the teammates I have around me who back me, and it's a team I love playing for,” said Amelia in an ICC statement on Saturday.
