Babar Azam, veteran all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez, and pacer Shaheen Afridi were included in three categories each. Whereas Haris Rauf, Mohammad Rizwan, Shan Masood, and Naseem Shah were included in two categories each. Men’s Emerging International Cricketer
Naseem Shah’s meteoric rise in international cricket and his exceptional performances with the red ball were rewarded as he won the Men’s Emerging International Cricketer of the Year Award. Naseem took 12 wickets in five Test matches. Domestic Cricketer of the Year
Kamran Ghulam’s magnificent batting in the ongoing Quaid-e-Azam Trophy earned him the award of Domestic Cricketer of the Year. Kamran has so far scored 1,129 runs at an average of 62.72, including four centuries and five fifties in 10 matches. He is currently playing in the Quaid-e-Azam trophy final for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

All-rounder Aliya Riaz was awarded the Women’s Cricketer of the Year, beating the likes of Javeria Khan and Bismah Maroof to the title. Test Cricketer of the Year
Mohammad Rizwan was awarded the Test Cricketer of the Year for his contributions with the bat and excellent glove-work behind the stumps despite scoring fewer runs than Babar Azam. Rizwan scored 320 runs at an average of 43. He also had 12 dismissals as a wicket-keeper. ------------------------------
