Australian pace bowling stalwart Mitchell Starc and women`s all-rounder of Indigenous origin Ashleigh Gardner were rewarded for their consistent performances at the annual Australian Cricket Awards, emerging the country`s leading male and female players for 2021.
Starc, whose all-round performance during the recently concluded Ashes was the key to the hosts winning the series 4-0, became just the fifth pace bowler in 22 years to win the Allan Border Medal as the country`s leading male cricketer, edging out Mitchell Marsh by one vote. The 24-year-old Gardner became the first Indigenous person to win the Belinda Clark Award as the country`s leading female player.
