The ICC men’s ODI Team of the Year was affected by India’s lack of international commitments in the 50-over format in 2024, as no Indian player was included in the list that was made public on Friday.

Four players from Sri Lanka, three each from Pakistan and Afghanistan, and one from the West Indies make up the all-star squad that the ICC has named.

India only played three One-Day Internationals (ODIs) in an away series versus Sri Lanka; they lost two of them and drew the third.

Because of his incredible batting performance all year long, Sri Lanka captain Charith Asalanka was also elected captain of the ICC side. Asalanka amassed 605 runs at an average of 50.2 in his 16 2024 ODI appearances, including four fifty-scores and a century.

on addition to Asalanka, the other Sri Lankan cricket players on the elite squad were Wanindu Hasaranga (26 wickets in 10 matches), Kusal Mendis (742 runs in 17 matches at 53), and Pathum Nissanka (694 runs in 12 matches at 63).

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.

The ICC ODI Team of the Year also included Pakistan’s top pace pair, Shaheen Afridi (15 wickets in 6 games) and Haris Rauf (13 matches in 8 games).

With 425 runs from nine games at an incredible average of 106.2, big-hitting West Indian Sherfane Rutherford, who made his international debut in 2023, was the only non-Asian in the all-star XI.

The 2024 ICC Men’s ODI Team of the Year:

Sherfane Rutherford (West Indies), Azmatullah Omarzai (Afghanistan), Wanindu Hasaranga (Sri Lanka), Shaheen Shah Afridi (Pakistan), Haris Rauf (Pakistan), Rahmanullah Gurbaz (Afghanistan), Pathum Nissanka (Sri Lanka), Kusal Mendis (WK) (Sri Lanka), PM Ghazanfar (Afghanistan), and Charith Asalanka (C) (Sri Lanka).
