Cricket Australia (CA) renames annual award in Test cricket

MELBOURNE: Cricket Australia has renamed its top annual award for best performer in Test cricket in honour of the late spin legend, Shane Warne. The Shane Warne Men's Test Player of the Year award will be presented annually at the Australian Cricket Awards and will be positioned as the second-most prestigious award for men behind the Allan Border Medal, given to the top performer of the year across all formats. The renaming of the award was announced here on Monday on the opening day of the traditional Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground against South Africa when tributes were paid to the iconic leg-spinner who died of a suspected heart attack on March 4, 2022, while on holiday at the island Ko Samui in Thailand.
