Head's achievements were celebrated by fellow players, the media, and umpires who participated in the voting process. The awards ceremony, held in Brisbane, also recognized Starc as the Australian Test player of the year, Mitchell Marsh as the ODI player of the year, and Tim David as the Twenty20 player of the year.
