ICC selected the playing 11 of Men of the Year 2024
ICC has selected the playing XI for Men of the Year 2024. In which they have selected big players from world cricket. They have taken 3 players from India in this team. While 4 players are from England. At the same time, 2 players are from New Zealand and 1 player is from Sri Lanka. Let us tell you that ICC has selected India’s emerging batsman Yashasvi Jaswal and Ben Duckett from England as openers. Both the players have scored a lot of runs last year, due to which they have been picked.
Talking about the middle order, former New Zealand captain and most experienced player Kane Williamson and Joe Root from England have been given a place. Last year has been very good for Joe Root. He has scored more than 1500 runs in 31 innings of 17 matches at an average of 55.57. During this, 6 centuries and 5 half-centuries were also seen from his bat. Brooks, Kamindu Mendis, and Jamie Smith (wicketkeeper) have also been included. While Pat Cummins has been given a big responsibility.
Rohit-Virat is out, Pat Cummins made captain
Batsmen like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were not selected for this team. Because last year was not special for both the players. Let us tell you that Virat Kohli has scored only 417 runs in 19 innings of 10 matches at a poor average of 24.52. Rohit proved to be a big flop in the year 2024, he scored only 624 runs in 26 innings of 14 matches at an average of 24.76.
Under his captaincy, India lost consecutive Test series against New Zealand and Australia. This is the reason why the ICC has chosen Australia’s Pat Cummins as the captain for Men of the Year 2024. Under his captaincy, Australia has reached the final of WTC 2025. Whereas in the year 2023, it won the title by defeating India.
Ravindra Jadeja and Jasprit Bumrah got a place
After Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ravindra Jadeja and fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah have been selected as ICC Men of the Year 2024. Bumrah bowled brilliantly in Tests. Bumrah played 13 Test matches last year. In which he took 86 wickets in 26 innings. During this, Jassi managed to complete the five-wicket haul 5 times. New Zealand fast bowler Matt Henry has got a place among them. He also performed well in the year 2024. Apart from this, Pat Cummins has attracted the most attention throughout the year with his captaincy.
