England’s Heather Knight, Natalie Sciver and Anya Shrubsole are among Wisden’s five Cricketers of the Year.
Shrubsole also becomes the first woman on the front cover of the Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack
All three were in the national side, captained by Knight, which beat India in the final to win the 2017 World Cup.
Essex seam bowler Jamie Porter and West Indies batsman Shai Hope complete the list.
Only two women had previously been chosen among Wisden’s five Cricketers of the Year, with England’s Claire Taylor included in 2009 and compatriot Charlotte Edwards in 2014.
India captain Virat Kohli was named the leading cricketer in the world, while compatriot Mithali Raj was the world’s leading women’s cricketer.
In a new award, Afghanistan leg-spinner Rashid Khan, 19, was declared the leading Twenty20 cricketer.
The coveted awards, which began in 1889, are a central feature of the annual Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack.
“It means a huge amount to me personally,” Shrubsole told BBC Sport. “What I feel most about it is it’s just such a great reflection of where women’s cricket is, and also how much that World Cup win really captured the nation.
“You could have put any number of people from that World Cup-winning team on the front cover and it would’ve had exactly the same impact.”
