3 players who could win the 2019 ICC Test Player of the Year award

#3 Ben Stokes

Stokes in Ashes 2019

2019 will always be a special year for Ben Stokes as he put on a monumental effort for England in the ODI World Cup final and was also in top form in Test match cricket throughout the year.

Not only did he play match-defining knocks for his country in crunch situations, but he also pitched in as the team's fifth bowler with near perfection.

Stokes was the third-highest leading run-scorer as well as the third-highest leading wicket-taker for England in Test cricket in 2019, performing the job of two players alone (like a genuine all-rounder is supposed to).

Only Joe Root and Rory Burns scored more Test runs for England than Stokes and only Stuart Broad and Jofra Archer took more Test wickets than him.

In the eleven Test matches that he played in the year, the 2019 World Cup hero scored 821 runs at an average of 45.61 with two hundreds and four fifties and also took 22 wickets at an average of 35.45.
