No Indian, Australian in Charith Asalanka-led ICC ODI Team of the Year for 2024

Dubai: No Indian and Australian cricketers were featured in the ICC Men’s ODI Team of the Year for 2024, which is led by Sri Lankan all-rounder Charith Asalanka. The International Cricket Council unveiled the ODI Team of the Year, celebrating the standout stars, who showed a great balance of star power, consistency and versatility.

The Asalanka-led team features Saim Ayub (Pakistan), Rahmanullah Gurbaz (Afghanistan), Pathum Nissanka (Sri Lanka), Kusal Mendis (wk) (Sri Lanka), Sherfane Rutherford (West Indies), Azmatullah Omarzai (Afghanistan), Wanindu Hasaranga (Sri Lanka), Shaheen Shah Afridi (Pakistan), Haris Rauf (Pakistan), AM Ghazanfar (Afghanistan).

Pakistan’s Ayub capped off his breakout season by selection at the top of the order in the ICC Men’s ODI Team of the Year. He only debuted in November, but arrived immediately, scoring a combined 125 runs from three ODIs in Australia before scoring a maiden ODI ton in Zimbabwe shortly after. Three of his last five innings have produced centuries, including two in South Africa in December, a three-match series that saw him average 78.3. Afghanistan’s Gurbaz continues to produce the game-wrecking performances he’s been known for ever since his famous century on debut in 2021. ians
