ICC men’s ODI Team of the Year: No Indian cricketer included | Cricket News – The Times of India

NEW DELHI: No Indian cricketer was included in the list of the ICC men’s ODI Team of the Year, which was announced on Friday, due to the country’s lack of international obligations in the 50-over format in 2024.
Four Sri Lankan players, three each from Pakistan and Afghanistan, and one from the West Indies make up the ICC’s all-star squad.
India only participated in three One-Day Internationals (ODIs) against Sri Lanka, losing two of them while the third one ended in a tie.

Asalanka amassed 605 runs at an average of 50.2 in his 16 2024 ODI appearances, including four fifties and a century.
In the previous year, Sri Lanka played the most ODIs (18) of any side and won 12 of them.
Afghanistan won eight of their 14 one-day matches, while Pakistan won seven of its nine One-Day Internationals.
