West Indies spinner Anisa Mohammed was named Cricketer of the Year on Friday night when the T&T Cricket Board hosted their 55th annual presentation function at Center Pointe Mall in Chaguanas.
The occasion attracted the leading personalities in the game including members of the national team which recently returned from playing in the 2011 Nokia Champions League T20 tournament in India.
Mohammed who plays for MAAD Rangers was also included in the "Five Cricketers of the Year" along with Merissa Aguilleira, Gaitri Seetahal, Amanda Samaroo and Stacy-Ann King.
Former West Indies and national captain Ann Brown-John was handed the "Administrator of the Year" award. The senior Customs and Excise Officer is an executive member of the T&T Cricket Board and has been a livewire in local and regional cricket for several decades as a player and administrator.
Phoenix, the competition league runners-up received the June Walters Award for Club Administration (Women) while Nisha Boodoo of Bonne Aventure Presbyterian was adjudged the "Primary Schools Cricketer of the Year." Also stealing the spotlight for the women were Gayle Daniel-Worrell, a former president of the T&T Women's Cricket Federation who was awarded for her dedicated and distinguished service to the zones and affiliates of the T&TCB.
And to cap off the evening for women's cricket, Jean Carmino, a former secretary of the women's cricket Board for 40 years (1970 to 2010) was given a national recognition award which was accepted on her behalf by Babsie Figuera. Carmino was also the first secretary of the WI Cricket Federation serving in that capacity from 1975 to 2000.
