The ICC has unveiled the ICC T20 Team of the Year 2023, featuring 11 best players who have performed throughout the year in international cricket.
The ICC has just unveiled the stellar lineup for the ICC T20 Team of the Year 2023, showcasing 11 standout players who lit up the T20 scene throughout the year. In a moment of pride for the Indian cricket team, four of their players—Suryakumar Yadav, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ravi Bishnoi, and Arshdeep Singh—have rightfully earned their spots, thanks to their exceptional performances in the shortest format.
On the global stage, the team boasts talents like England’s Phil Salt, West Indies’ Nicholas Pooran, New Zealand’s Mark Chapman, Zimbabwe’s Sikander Raza, Uganda’s Alpesh Ramjani, Ireland’s Mark Adair, and Zimbabwe’s Richard Ngarava. Each player has been recognized for their outstanding contributions, making the T20I Team of the Year a true reflection of international cricket excellence in 2023.
Being selected in the ICC T20I Team of the Year is a massive achievement for all four Indian players, instilling confidence as they gear up for the T20 World Cup in the USA and West Indies this June. Surya Kumar Yadav’s appointment as captain adds a special touch to this honor.
A notable revelation has been the emergence of Yashasvi Jaiswal as a consistent opening batsman alongside Rohit Sharma. Jaiswal’s impressive performances, amassing 430 runs at a strike rate of 159 in 14 T20Is since his West Indies debut in August, have solidified his role. As India eyes the T20 World Cup, Jaiswal is poised to play a pivotal role, needing just another stellar IPL season to secure his spot.
Ravi Bishnoi, the Indian spinner, and pace bowler Arshdeep Singh also earned spots in the ICC Team of the Year. Bishnoi’s top ranking in the ICC T20 Bowling Rankings speaks to his excellence, particularly against Australia where he claimed a wicket in every match and earned the Player of the Series title. Arshdeep, the fourth Indian in the Team of the Year, showcased his prowess by taking 26 wickets in 21 T20Is for India.
