A fourth Pakistan cricketer, Fatima Sana, won the Emerging Women's Cricketer of the year award.
Known for his sizzling yorkers and an ability to swing the ball, Afridi claimed 78 wickets in 36 internationals in 2021 and was at his best at the Twenty20 World Cup even though Pakistan went out in the semi-finals.
"I got five-fors in tests but my most memorable performance was during our victory against India in the World Cup," the 21-year-old left-armer said.
Root was rewarded for his sublime form in 2021 when he become only the third player -- after Mohammad Yousuf of Pakistan and West Indies great Viv Richards -- to score over 1,700 runs in test cricket in a calendar year.
"If there was one hundred that really sticks out it would probably be in Chennai against India," Root said referring to his stellar 218 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.
"With it being my 100th game it is something that will live long in the memory."
