Australia's Clarke bags top ICC awards
(Reuters) - Michael Clarke was named ICC Cricketer of the Year on Friday with the Australia captain also bagging the Test Player of the Year award after a stellar season with the bat.
Sri Lankan Kumar Sangakkara, who won both the honours last year, has been named ODI Cricketer Of the Year, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said in a statement.
Promising Indian top order batsman Cheteshwar Pujara was named ICC Emerging Cricketer of the Year.
"I was very surprised, to be honest, I think probably because there are so many guys who are playing so well around the world at the moment," Clarke told Cricket Australia website (www.cricket.com.au).

Clarke was honoured with the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for his remarkable run-scoring feats during the voting period from August 2012 to August this year.
He was also named ICC Test Cricketer of the Year.
In that time, Clarke scored 1559 Test runs at 70.86 – the highest aggregate among his Test-playing peers – which included five centuries, two of which were double hundreds.
Even more noteworthy was the fact that Clarke managed his success at a time when his team struggled, recording four consecutive defeats in India early in 2013 and completing the five-match Ashes series in England without a victory.

Clarke is the third Australian to be presented with the ICC’s premier honour since the awards were introduced in 2004.
His predecessor as captain, Ricky Ponting, received the honour in 2006 and 207, while Clarke’s current Test team-mate and strike bowler Mitchell Johnson was named Player of the Year in 2009.
