England's Stuart Broad and Joe Root have been named in the International Cricket Council's Test team of the year.
The mythical side, selected by a panel chaired by the ICC cricket committee chairman and former India captain Anil Kumble, sees Broad and Root rewarded for their work in helping rebuild the England side after the winter tour of Australia.
Root hit three big hundreds in the English summer, scoring 200, 154 and 149, while Broad made contributions with both bat and ball and took 19 wickets as India were beaten 3-1.
The nominees for the LG ICC Awards were also revealed with Gary Ballance and Ben Stokes short-listed for the Emerging cricketer of the year award.
Ballance made a near-seamless move into the number three position, striking three Test centuries this summer, while Stokes impressed in all formats.
The Durham all-rounder most memorably hit his maiden Test century against Australia on a cracked WACA Ground wicket before claiming 6-99 to end the series in Sydney.
England captain Charlotte Edwards is up for a pair of gongs including the Women’s cricketer of the year – an award she won in 2008.
Sarah Taylor has also been nominated but the wicketkeeper-batter will lose her Women’s Twenty20 cricketer of the year title, after back-to-back successes, with Edwards the only England player nominated for that award.
Edwards has missed out on the People’s Choice Award – which is voted for by fans across the world – after she had been named in a list of five players, having led England to back-to-back Ashes triumphs.
Seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar has today named as the award-winner to become the third Indian, after Sachin Tendulkar and Mahendra Singh Dhoni, to win it in its five years of existence.
Alex Hales is the other England award hopeful after his unbeaten century against eventual champions Sri Lanka in the World Twenty20 was listed for the Twenty20 international performance of the year.
The tall opener smacked 116 from 64 balls, including six sixes, to lead England to victory, although his performance has been nominated against Australia Twenty20 captain Aaron Finch’s record-breaking 156 from 63 balls versus England at the Ageas Bowl last year.
That innings came three days inside the qualification period – from August 26 2013 until September 17 2014 – with the winners of each award to be announced on November 14.
Elsewhere, Mitchell Johnson and Kumar Sangakkara are in line to win their second Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for the Cricketer of the year.
No other player has managed that in the 11-year history of the ICC awards and both players are also nominated for Test cricketer of the year, alongside David Warner and Angelo Mathews.
The Sri Lanka skipper was named as captain of the Test team of the year after he led his men to their first series win in England, while Sangakkara (for a seventh time) and Rangana Herath are his named compatriots.
South African pace bowler Dale Steyn is picked for the seventh successive year and team-mate AB de Villiers for a fifth time.
Warner and Johnson (Australia) plus Kane Williamson and Tim Southee (New Zealand) make up the rest of the team.
There are no England players named in the one-day side of the year which is captained by Dhoni, included for an eighth time and a seventh year in a row.
De Villiers of South Africa, Virat Kohli of India and Ajantha Mendis of Sri Lanka are repeat selections, with the rest of the side comprising of Mohammad Hafeez (Pakistan), Quinton de Kock and Steyn (South Africa), George Bailey and James Faulkner (Australia), Dwayne Bravo (West Indies) and Mohammad Shami (India).
Kumble said: "I would like to congratulate all the players for their selection in the teams of the year. It is an achievement to be proud of and recognition for their good performances in the qualifying period.
"Team selection is one of the toughest jobs and when you have a large pool of outstanding players to select from in a 12-month period between 26 August 2013 and 17 September 2014, then it becomes even more difficult."
