Stafanie Taylor and Marlon Samuels were predictably named 2012 Jamaica Cricket Association (JCA) Female and Male Cricketers of the Year, respectively, at the local body's annual Awards Dinner at the UWI Mona Visitors' Lodge on Friday,

Meanwhile, Taylor and Samuels, who also won the respective awards the season before, were acknowledged by the association for their gigantic achievements throughout the last year.

Samuels, the West Indies middle-order batsman, was remarkable in all formats with the bat and was perhaps the regional team's most influential performer during their sensational triumph at the T20 World Cup in Sri Lanka.

Taylor, the top-ranked ICC Women's One-Day International (ODI) all-rounder, led the West Indies team admirably with both bat and ball throughout the year, and missed Friday's function as she is away with the regional side on a tour of Sri Lanka
