World News – USA – Scotland Wins Associate Awards, Coetzer and Bryce Wins ICC Player of the Decade

Isaac Lockett reports that Kyle Coetzer and Kathryn Bryce were named ICC Player of the Decade by the Scottish international.

Scottish internationals Kyle Coetzer and Kathryn Bryce have been named ICC Associate Players of the Decade. Both Scots have faced stiff competition in their respective categories that is part of a wider range of awards.

For the past ten years, Coetzer has been an integral part of the Scottish men’s team, which was represented in the teams over 50, T20 and Intercontinental Cup and took part in World Championships in 2014 and 2016.

« I am completely blown away with all the news today and I will always appreciate that, » wrote Coetzer on Instagram. « Amazing that so many Cricket Scotland nominees are male and female and that Kathryn Bryce did all the best in winning the women’s award. « .

“Thank you for your support on my journey so far and I’m looking forward to what’s to come. ‘

In 51 ODIs between 2011 and 2020, he achieved 2277 runs with an average of 45. 54 with a high score of 156 against Bangladesh during the 2015 edition of the ICC Cricket World Cup in New Zealand, the only century in which an employee competed in a world championship. The impressive blow was one of its four centuries during the decade that also saw 16 half centuries. In addition to his success with the bat, Coetzer even picked up an ODI wicket – he sacked Dutch batsman Neil Kruger in 2011 during a game in the ICC World Cricket League Championship – and collected 16 catches.

Coetzer’s influence was also seen on the T20I stage as he played 49 games for Scotland, amassing 1152 runs, scoring six half centuries and ending the decade with an impressive 25 average. 04 with a hit rate of 126. 45.

In eight ICC Intercontinental Cup games of the decade, he scored 336 runs spanning four half centuries.

Hopefully at the age of 23, Bryce has a long career ahead of him and has just signed a professional contract with Lightning Cricket with her sister and Scottish international Sarah Bryce. However, their influence on the international scene can already be clearly seen.

« It’s a real honor to win this award, thanks for all of your support! » tweeted Bryce. “A special mention goes to every woman who has played for Scotland before me and has helped enable this team to compete in global tournaments. ‘

After making her country debut in 2011 at the age of 13, Bryce represented Scotland in 14 T20Is and scored 400 runs in 2019 with a high score of 73 * against the Netherlands and an average of 50. 00 run better than a ball. Coupled with her bat-in-hand exploits, Bryce has taken 15 wickets averaging 9. 60 and a savings rate of 3. 23.

As the ICC recognizes the performance of the associated players in the individual categories, it is to be hoped that the trend to appoint full member teams of the decade can also occur for the associated members in the next prize round.
