Australian Test captain Steve Smith has been awarded ICC Test Cricketer of the Year as the world governing body announced the annual awards on Thursday. Pakistan's Hasan Ali was named ICC's Emerging Player of the Year while Afghanistan's spin sensation Rashid Khan took home the ICC Associate Cricketer of the Year silverware. Hasan's 3 for 19 played a vital role in Pakistan's Champions Trophy win against India. Rashid, on the other hand, picked 60 wickets for Afghanistan in 2017, a record for an Associate player in a calendar year.

Marais Erasmus, for the second year in succession, was awarded the ICC Umpire of the Year. Erasmus joined ICC's Elite Panel in 2010 and has officiated in 47 Tests and 74 ODIs, including the Champions Trophy finale, and 26 T20Is. Pakistan's Champions Trophy triumph in England has won the inaugural award of ICC Fans' Moment of the Year. Pakistan stunned arch-rivals India in the title clash to bag their first ICC trophy since 2009.

Yuzvendra Chahal's 6 for 25 against England in Bangalore last year has been recognised by ICC as the T20I Performance of the Year. England pacer Anya Shrubsole's iconic moment of sportsmanship - as she consoled South African skipper Dane van Niekerk - after the teams' gripping Women's World Cup semifinal won her the ICC Spirit of Cricket Award.
