Sourced from News24 Ben Stokes' man-of-the-match performance against the West Indies has catapulted him to the top of the International Cricket Council's (ICC) Test all-rounder rankings as well as a career-best third in the batting standings. ICC Test all-rounder rankings Stokes was at the heart of England's series-levelling win against the West Indies at Old Trafford that ended on Monday, scoring 176 and 78 not out as well as taking three wickets. Those performances were enough to see him leapfrog West Indies captain Jason Holder, who had been at No 1 for 18 months.

Markram (70 from 33 balls) and De Villiers (61 from 24) helped the Eagles to 160-4 in their 12 overs, convincingly beating the Kites (138-3) and Kingfishers (113-5).

Sourced from ENCA JOHANNESBURG - Limited-overs captain Quinton de Kock was named South Africa's men's cricketer of the year for the second time. The left-handed De Kock (27) was comfortably South Africa's best batsman in a year in which the national team won only one out of seven series across all formats. Wicketkeeper-batsman De Kock was South Africa's leading run-scorer in five out of seven series and was the team's top scorer in nine out of 27 innings. But he said his highlight of the year was leading the one-day team to a 3-0 series win against Australia, the only series in which he did not play a prominent individual role. De Kock was also named his country's Test cricketer of the year and the players' player of the year. Fast bowler Lungi Ngidi was the one-day international and Twenty20 international player of the year. De Kock was previously South Africa's cricketer of the year in 2017.
