Anya Shrubsole: England vice-captain wins ICC Spirit of Cricket award

Anya Shrubsole had hit her first ball for four to ensure England won by two wickets with two balls to spare, setting up a home final against India at Lord's

England vice-captain Anya Shrubsole has won the International Cricket Council's Spirit of Cricket award at the world governing body's annual prizegiving.

Having hit the winning runs in England's tense Women's World Cup semi-final victory over South Africa at Bristol in July, Shrubsole immediately went to comfort the distraught Proteas captain Dane van Niekerk.

The ICC said that Shrubsole, 26, a nominee for BBC Sports Personality of the Year, "displayed humility and exemplary sportsmanship".

Her actions recalled similar consoling moments between Andrew Flintoff and Brett Lee during the 2005 Ashes, and Grant Elliott and Dale Steyn after the 2015 World Cup semi-final between New Zealand and South Africa.

The Spirit of Cricket award is decided by the ICC's elite umpires panel and chief executive.

In September, Shrubsole became the first female cricketer to receive the Christopher Martin-Jenkins Spirit of Cricket award - created by the BBC and MCC in memory of the former Test Match Special commentator.
