ICC Men: Sri Lanka all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga and wicketkeeper-batter Kusal Mendis, along with Afghanistan youngster Azmatullah Omarzai and Sherfane Rutherford of the West Indies, have been nominated for the ICC Men's ODI Cricketer of the Year honour.
Hasaranga took a wicket inside every three overs in 2024 ODI cricket. He boasted 11 wickets in his first three 50-over matches of the calendar year. He made headlines early in the year when he claimed 7-19 from just 5.5 overs against Zimbabwe in Colombo. Six wickets came in the three-match ODI series in Chattogram against Bangladesh in March, before a 3-58 effort against India upon his return to the bowling crease in August. Spells of 2-18 and 4-40 followed against the West Indies in October.
Sri Lanka wicketkeeper Mendis scored half-centuries against six opponents in ODI cricket across 2024, while also scoring a century against New Zealand. He smashed a 128-ball 143 against New Zealand in Dambulla before scoring 74 not out when the teams met in Pallekele. He finished the calendar year with an average of over 50.
