"It's amazing to be acknowledged and I do truly appreciate it. It's a really nice way to finish the year on a personal note."

Australian Meg Lanning was chosen as captain of both the ODI and T20 side. "It's a huge honour to be named captain of the ICC ODI and T20 Teams of the Year alongside some incredible players.
It's been an amazing year for the Australian team and we're looking forward to the challenges that lie ahead in 2020," said Lanning.
"A home T20 World Cup is an opportunity that doesn't come along often, but we are looking forward to and embracing the challenge of performing well in front of our home crowd," she said referring to the showpiece event at home in February-March next year.
