Nepal wicketkeeper Aasif Sheikh has won the 2022 Christopher Martin-Jenkins Spirit of Cricket Award for his act of sportsmanship in a T20 international.
Sheikh was awarded for his sportsmanship shown in the men's T20 International between Nepal and Ireland in February 2022.
Sheikh was also honoured with the ICC Spirit of Cricket Award in January 2022 for his works
The Spirit of Cricket Award was created in 2013 by the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) and the BBC in memory of former MCC president and BBC Test Match Special commentator Christopher Martin-Jenkins (CMJ), who was passionate about promoting the spirit of the game.
For the first time in its history, MCC and BBC invited public nominations for the award in December 2022 and Sheikh's conduct for Nepal was judged to be the winning entry.
