The nominations for the prestigious Allan Border medal include vice-captain Pat Cummins, former vice-captain David Warner and former captain Steve Smith. Cummins also received the award last year and followed up with an incredible 2019 where he was the highest wicket-taker in the Ashes. Steve Smith, Nathan Lyon, Pat Cummins and newcomer Marnus Labuschagne will be contending for the Test cricketer of the Year award. Labuschagne has turned out to be the revelation of the year and has solidified himself in the Australian Test setup. For the Belinda Clark award, Ellyse Perry and Alyssa Healy have been nominated.
