All-rounder Akeal Ho­sein won the crick­eter of the year award when the Queen's Park Crick­et Club (QPCC) held its An­nu­al Crick­et Awards func­tion at the Queen's Park Oval, Fri­day night.

The oth­er crick­eters of the year were Je­re­my Solozano, Daron Cruick­shank, Ken­neth Hazel and Amit Jag­ger­nauth.

Queen's Park's young crick­eters were al­so award­ed for their ef­forts. Na­tion­al Un­der-17 play­er Jor­dan Warn­er won the Pe­ter Wait­he Youth Per­son­al­i­ty Award, na­tion­al U-17 play­er and na­tion­al U-15 cap­tain Kirstan Kallicha­ran took home the Runako Mor­ton Most Promis­ing Play­er, while Solozano the na­tion­al U-19 cap­tain al­so won the Youth Crick­eter of the Year award.

Awards were al­so dis­trib­uted to play­ers scor­ing hun­dreds and tak­ing five or more wick­ets in an in­nings.

Ho­sein, 21, had a mem­o­rable year with both bat and ball. The left-arm spin­ner took 68 wick­ets dur­ing the sea­son which in­clud­ed five 5-wick­et hauls.

In the bat­ting de­part­ment, Ho­sein made 453 runs with a high­est score of 137 not out at an av­er­age of 35.4. Ho­sein al­so ac­com­plished an in­cred­i­ble feat when he took two hat-tricks in the same match against Cal­drac at Gilbert Park. The ac­com­plish­ment sent record keep­ers to the archives and no record could be found of this hap­pen­ing in any game in Trinidad at the pre­mier­ship lev­el.

Ho­sein al­so made his de­but for the na­tion­al se­nior team ear­li­er this year and an­nounced his ar­rival with a cen­tu­ry and two five-wick­et hauls. Less than two weeks ago Ho­sein was part of the Bar­ba­dos Tri­dents team that clinched the Caribbean Pre­mier League ti­tle.
