Perry has scooped the inaugural Rachael Heyhoe Flint Award, which was renamed following the former England captain's death at the age of 77 in January.

Perry's team-mate Beth Mooney has won the ICC Women’s T20 Player of the Year and ICC Women’s Emerging Player of the Year awards.

New Zealand's Amy Satterthwaite was named ODI Player of the Year, for One Day Internationals, by the worldwide governing body.

The winners were chosen by a voting academy, which included respected members of the media and broadcasters.

Perry received the main ICC award after scoring an undefeated 213 and taking three wickets in the one-off Ashes Test against England in Sydney last month.

The 27-year-old, who has also represented Australia in football, also accumulated 905 runs and took 22 wickets in 19 one-day internationals during the voting period, which ran from September of last year to December 2017.

Satterthwaite and Harmanpreet Kaur of India finished second and third respectively.

"It has been a very special year for women’s cricket with many milestones reached, so it is a privilege and honour to receive the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Award," said Perry. 

"I’d like to acknowledge the incredible work and legacy Rachael has left behind for the game, she is certainly missed. 

“A special thanks to Cricket Australia for the incredible amount of support they provide to the Australian women’s cricket team and the way in which they continue to lead the development of women’s sport in Australia. 

“Also, my team mates and our support staff, thanks so much for making it so enjoyable and memorable to tour and represent Australia. 

"And finally, to my family and friends for their continued and unwavering support, it is truly appreciated.”
