Mustafizur debutant of the year

Bangladesh’s bowling sensation Mustafizur Rahman has won the Debutant of the Year title for 2015 at the Maruti Suzuki ESPNcricinfo Awards.

Mustafizur, who made a dream debut in one-day international series against India in June 2015, was voted by ESPNcricinfo's users, in addition to the jury.

The Maruti Suzuki ESPNcricinfo Awards in a number of cricket categories were announced on Monday.

Mustafizur captured 13 wickets and helped Bangladesh win the three-match ODI series against India. He made his T20 debut against Pakistan earlier in April and secured two wickets.

Among the bowlers who have taken more than 30 international wickets in 2015, Mustafizur's average and strike rate (19.5) are the best, according to the ESPNcricinfo.

New Zealander Kane Williamson's career highest unbeaten 242 in Wellington against Sri Lanka has been voted the top Test batting performance of 2015. The Test bowling award went to England's Stuart Broad, whose 8 for 15 at Trent Bridge skittled Australia out for 60, paving the way for England to regain the Ashes. 

New Zealand players won three awards this year. Tim Southee took the ODI bowling award for his 7 for 33, which bundled England out for 123 in under 34 overs the World Cup; and Brendon McCullum won the Captain of the Year title. 

The best ODI batting performance award went to AB de Villiers, whose 149 off 44 balls against the West Indies at the Wanderers contained the fastest ODI hundred (off 31 balls) and fastest fifty (16 balls). 

The awards, now in their ninth year, honour the best batting and bowling performances across the international formats of the game in the preceding calendar year.

This year's awards were voted on by a jury of former players - among them, Ian Chappell, Mahela Jayawardene, Jeff Dujon, Courtney Walsh, John Wright, Mark Butcher, Mark Nicholas - and ESPNcricinfo's senior writers and editors.
