Aaron Finch’s record-breaking innings at the Ageas Bowl has been named as the ICC Twenty20 international performance of the year.

The Australian lit up the Ageas Bowl with 11 fours and 14 sixes in his 63-ball 156 against England in August 2013.

It ensured a 39-run run for Australia and remains the highest individual score in T20 international history.

Two performances at the World T20 in Bangladesh in March were also recognised (the awards were judged on performances between August 26, 2013 and September 17 2014).

Alex Hales was nominated for his unbeaten 116 (64 balls, 11 fours and six sixes) against Sri Lanka, whose former Hampshire spinner Rangana Herath was nominated for taking five wickets for just three runs against New Zealand.

Herath joined Stuart Broad and Joe Root in the Test Team of the Year, while former Hampshire batsman George Bailey made the ODI Team of the Year.

Mitchell Johnson won the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for being the ICC Cricketer of the Year, while England’s Gary Ballance was named the ICC Emerging Cricketer of the Year.
