London, Jun 1 (AFP) Jonathan Trott's run-scoring feats during the past 12 months were recognised when he was named England's cricketer of the year by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) at a ceremony at Lord's here.
The award, voted for by the British cricket media, is given to the player who has had the greatest impact upon England's performances from the start of the 2010 international season until the end of the World Cup.
In that time the South Africa-born Trott played 32 times for England, scoring 2,246 runs at an average of 68.06.
This included seven hundreds and a highest score of 226, against Bangladesh in a Test at Lord's last year.
