England opener Alastair Cook is named the ICC Test Cricketer of the Year.

England's Alastair Cook has been named the ICC Test Cricketer of the Year.

The 26-year-old opener, who now captains England's one-day side, played 12 Tests and in 18 innings he scored 1302 runs at an average of 51.74, including six centuries and four half-centuries.

His 235 not out against Australia in Brisbane kick-started England's first Ashes victory away from home since 1986-87.

Cook was named ahead of England teammates Jonathan Trott and James Anderson, as well as previous winner Jacques Kallis of South Africa.

"I think the highlight of year was when we won in Sydney to beat Australia, and Chris Tremlett to take that final wicket, it was truly a great year," Cook said after receiving the award from Curtly Ambrose. "This award is about the rest of the team not just me."

Cook's ODI side currently hold a 2-0 unassailable lead in the five-game one-day series against India, having won the first two tests, while the third ended in a draw.
