England's Jonathan Trott has been named the 2011 International Cricket Council cricketer of the year after an extraordinary 12 months for the batsman.
In 12 Tests, he compiled 1,042 runs at an average of 65.12, including four centuries and three half-centuries.
In addition, he played 24 one-dayers, hitting 1,064 runs at an average of 48.36 with two centuries and nine 50's.
In that time he helped his team retain the Ashes in Australia, reach the quarter-final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 and also register other Test series victories against Sri Lanka, India and Pakistan.
Trott follows in the footsteps of India's Rahul Dravid (2004), Andrew Flintoff of England and South Africa's Jacques Kallis (joint winners in 2005), Ricky Ponting of Australia (2006 and 2007), West Indies' Shivnarine Chanderpaul (2008), Mitchell Johnson of Australia (2009) and India's Sachin Tendulkar (2010) to take the top award.
