Amelia Kerr Wins ICC Cricketer of the Year 2024

Amelia Kerr, a standout cricketer from New Zealand, has been named the ICC Women's Cricketer of the Year 2024, becoming the first New Zealander to receive the prestigious Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy. Her exceptional all-round performance, particularly during the ICC Women's T20 World Cup, was instrumental in New Zealand's maiden title win, where she was also named Player of the Tournament. Kerr's achievements include being the tournament's highest wicket-taker with a record 15 wickets and scoring 387 runs in 18 T20 matches throughout the year. Despite her success, Kerr remains focused on improving further, highlighting her young age and potential for growth in the sport. She expresses a desire to participate in test cricket, which has been elusive for New Zealand's women's team. Kerr's accomplishments have cemented her status among cricketing greats, following in the footsteps of role models like Sophie Devine and Suzie Bates.
