Wisden name Sehwag international player of the year
8 April 2009, 9:51 am



LONDON (Reuters) - India opener Virender Sehwag was named as the international player of the year by the annual Wisden almanac.

Claire Taylor, England's leading run-scorer in her team's successful World Cup campaign this year, has become the first woman to be named as one of the five cricketers of the year.

The other four selected in the 146th edition of the almanac published on Thursday are England fast bowler James Anderson and South Africans Mark Boucher, Neil McKenzie and Dale Benkenstein.

Wicketkeeper Boucher and opening batsman McKenzie played prominent parts in South Africa's successful tour of England last year while left-arm spinner Benkenstein helped Durham to their first county championship.
