Australia captain Pat Cummins and England's Nat Sciver-Brunt were named Cricketers of the Year by the International Cricket Council on Thursday.

Cummins won the men's award after a year in which he led Australia to the World Test Championship and World Cup titles.

"It's a huge honour. It has been a big year, lots of wonderful team success," Cummins said.

"To get this individual honour is huge and I am pretty amazed. In terms of individual accolades, it is right up there."

All-rounder Sciver-Brunt won her second successive Women's Cricketer of the Year award, after consistent performances in all three formats, scoring 137 runs in two Tests, 393 runs in six ODIs and 364 runs in 10 T20Is.
