The curtain has fallen on the 2025 Australian Cricket Awards, an event traditionally celebrated as cricket’s night of nights, and this year was no different in terms of recognizing the stellar performances across the cricketing landscape. Held at Crown Melbourne’s Palladium room, the awards night was a testament to the relentless spirit of Australian cricketers who have shone on the global stage.
Stellar performances honored
Travis Head emerged as the luminary of the evening, securing the Allan Border Medal for his exceptional performances across all formats. Over the eligibility period, Head amassed an impressive 1,427 runs, leading the Australian tally in Tests and T20Is, while finishing second in ODIs. His consistent, match-winning contributions made him the clear favorite for the night’s top honor, even though he couldn’t attend due to Australia’s Test tour in Sri Lanka.
Annabel Sutherland, on the other hand, was the beacon for women’s cricket, clinching the Belinda Clark Award. Her year was marked by a historic Test century at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, making her the first woman to achieve this feat at that venue. Sutherland’s dominance was not just limited to Tests; she was a pivotal player in ODIs and T20Is, showcasing her versatility and cementing her status as one of the most promising talents in Australian cricket.
Josh Hazlewood was recognized for his metronomic bowling in Test cricket, earning the Shane Warne Men’s Test Player of the Year award. His 35 wickets at an average of 13.60 were a testament to his skill and consistency, especially considering he played only five Tests during the voting period.
