Joe Root is named England Cricketer of the Year for 2014-15, while captain Charlotte Edwards wins England Women's Cricketer of the Year for the second successive year.

Joe Root has been named as the England Cricketer of the Year for 2014-15 by the England and Wales Cricket Board.

The 24-year-old Yorkshireman has scored 1,135 Test runs at an average of 94.58 since the conclusion of the disastrous Ashes whitewash in Australia last winter.

He has made four scores of 149 or more, including a Test best of 200 not out against Sri Lanka at Lord's, and three one-day international hundreds while emerging as England's most consistent batsman across all three formats.

Root told Sky Sports News: "I've really enjoyed being out there and being able to contribute to the team. From a tough trip in Australia to be able to come back into the side and get a few scores together has been really nice. The key now is to kick on and really keep doing what I have been doing.

"I think you have got to try and keep it as simple as possible and I have tried to adapt my game to all three formats. The transition between all three becomes easier and simpler.

"There's always a lot more to learn but I am comfortable with the way things are going. I have been lucky to have been in a rich vein of form but I know how quickly that can change. Every time you got out there you want to cash in."

Captain Charlotte Edwards took home England Women's Cricketer of the Year for the second successive year.

Lancashire's England U19s paceman Saqib Mahmood won the England Development Programme Cricketer of the Year award, while the England Disability Cricketer of the Year award was given to Luke Sugg from the England Visually Impaired team at an ceremony in the Long Room at Lord's.
