Samuels hit an unbeaten 85 in the World Twenty20 final earlier this year against England to help his side win the title for the second time. Even though the 35-year-old has been quite poor in Tests after his ton against England last year in April, he has been in great form in One-Day Internationals as seen recently in the tri-series involving Australia and South Africa at home.
Chris Gayle, who smashed a ton to begin West Indies' campaign in the World T20, was chosen as the T20 Player of the Year. Darren Bravo won the Test Cricketer of the Year award while his half-brother Dwayne Bravo was named the Carribean T20 Player of the Year.
Stafanie Taylor, the women's captain, who led the side to World T20 glory in India earlier this year, was named the Women's T20 Player of the Year and the ODI Player of the Year.
Shimron Hetmyer was named the Under-19 player of the year after he led the side to victory in the Under-19 World Cup in Bangladesh. Jomel Warrican, the left-arm spinner, won the Emerging Player of the Year award after making a sensational Test debut in Sri Lanka last year where he took six wickets in his team's loss.
Jason Mohammed and Veerasammy Permaul were rewarded for their consistency in domestic cricket by being named the PCL 50-over Player of the Year and PCL Four-day Player of the Year respectively.
