Original: Golden bat or ball: does cricket need an equivalent to the Ballon d’Or? | Taha Hashim
A debate is under way over whether cricket should introduce a global individual player of the year prize to rival football's Ballon d'Or. Writer Taha Hashim floats the idea of a 'golden bat or ball' honour, prompting discussion over how such an award would be judged across formats and whether the sport's fragmented calendar makes a single definitive prize workable.
Why now: Cricket fans are weighing whether the sport lacks a prestigious individual award comparable to football's Ballon d'Or.
