ICC Women's ODI Team of the Year for 2022 revealed (ICC Cricket)

The ICC Women's ODI Team of the Year recognises the 11 superb players who impressed one and all – be it with the bat, the ball or their all-round exploits ...

The pacer then finished the year in style with consecutive four-wicket hauls against England in September, indicating she will likely be a mainstay of India's ODI line-up in years to come. Kaur hit two centuries and five half-centuries during the calendar year, with her unbeaten 143* against England in September the obvious highlight. Mooney only had 10 ODI innings in 2022, but the fact she hit 403 runs and was only dismissed four times meant the left-hander averaged in excess of 100. But a close look at the numbers show how valuable the 29-year-old is to Australia's ongoing success. Khaka's best performance came at home against the West Indies in Johannesburg at the start of the year when she collected eye-catching figures of 5/26 and the 30-year-old backed that up with some impressive showings during the 50-over World Cup in New Zealand. While the 22-year-old couldn't quite emulate those efforts during the home World Cup, she did finish the year with 676 ODI runs and 17 valuable wickets to prove she is one of the best all-round performers in women's cricket. If that wasn't enough runs to please the naysayers, Wolvaardt hit an impressive 89 against Ireland in Dublin in the middle of the year and a further two half-centuries against England away from home the following month. Wolvaardt hit a graceful 117 against the West Indies in Johannesburg in February and that form was replicated in New Zealand as she hit four half-centuries on the trot at the 50-over World Cup. The South Africa batter started the year in sensational style on home soil, carried that form throughout the duration of the World Cup and then flourished in England later in the year in a standout 12 months for the 23-year-old. Mandhana hit an excellent 91 against England in Hove in September and then followed that up with innings of 40 and 50 to finish off the year in style. The highlight for Mandhana was the magnificent 123 against the West Indies at the World Cup in New Zealand, but it was perhaps later on in the year in England where the 26-year-old flourished. The dynamic opener was at her brilliant best for the majority of the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup, but it was in the knockout stages of the event that the right-hander really shone.

Three Indians named in men's T20I team of the year, four in women's T20I team, two in men's ODI team, three in women's ODI team and one in men's Test test ...

Sikandar Raza was an integral figure for Zimbabwe in T20Is through the year, not least in qualifying, and he is one of two expert spinners in the side. Jos Buttler secured the England captaincy in June, and is selected the skipper of this dream team after sealing the silverware down under. Her compatriots Deepti Sharma and Renuka Singh lead the bowling lineup, with the former having taken more wickets than any other player in Women’s T20Is. Tahlia McGrath claimed the ICC Women’s Player of the Month award in August following her inspired campaign at the Commonwealth Games, and she reached her highest rating in December at the summit of the Women’s T20I batter rankings. Australia were triumphant at Edgbaston, and three of their heroes are selected for the ICC Women’s T20I Team of the Year, which is led by New Zealand’s Sophie Devine. Completing the bowling attack is the number one-ranked bowler in the format, New Zealand paceman Trent Boult. Another player who celebrated three centuries was Zimbabwe’s Sikandar Raza. Shai Hope also features after another impressive year for West Indies, sharing three centuries apiece with the skipper. Ben Stokes took the England captaincy in April and was a key catalyst for their Test revival. Australia enjoyed another year of Test success, consolidating their position atop the ICC World Test Championship standings. With a combined 6,988 runs during the calendar year and 198 wickets, there are outstanding individuals throughout the lineup. In total, 11 countries are represented across the various lineups, which feature a number of World Cup winners, ICC Players of the Month and some of the most exciting emerging talents from the past calendar year.

Ranji Trophy: Kedar Jadhav gives a reminder of his class (Hindustan Times)

His superb 128 at the Brabourne Stadium against Mumbai helped Maharashtra finish Day 1 on 314/6 | Cricket.

In 2013-14, Jadhav had yet to play for India and had the extra motivation to impress the national selectors. “The fight is between me and my mind, if I want to do well and prepare very well for it, most of the time I do well," said Kedar after the day’s play. Mumbai were left to rue the dropped catch in slip he offered while on 37. Ten years later, at the age of 37, he turned the clock back to score another superb hundred against the local rivals. There’s something about Mumbai that seems to bring the best out of the middle-order bat. The Mumbai cricket team are well aware of how dangerous he can be and as luck would have it, in the all-important Ranji Trophy Elite League game, they found themselves to be again at the receiving end of Kedar’s blade at the Brabourne Stadium, on Tuesday.

Middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer and right-arm pacer Mohammed Siraj made their into the ODI team of the year on the back of some consistent performances.

With Jasprit Bumrah often missing due to injury, Siraj emerged as the most potent weapon of the India pace unit. Delivering with both the new and old ball, Siraj played 15 matches and picked up 24 wickets. Mostly slotting in at No.4, Iyer played 17 games during the calendar year and scored 724 runs at an average of 55.69. Both of them hardly played 50-over cricket last year with the focus firmly being on T20 cricket. There was understandably no place for Indian stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer and right-arm pacer Mohammed Siraj made their into the ODI team of the year on the back of some consistent performances.

Let’s see if I am enjoying it, then I will keep on playing as long as I am fit and scoring runs,” Jadhav said.

He clarified that although his attempt was not to compare himself with the star India batter, but to rather highlight his achievements in domestic cricket amid selectors' repeated denial. Of those three matches in the shortest format, was one that featured both Kohli and Khurram, the only such fixture in the latter's career. Any number of a value above what Kohli does in any format, does get noticed and highlights in the cricket fraternity. Every era in world cricket has a player or two who defines that period.

Zampa collected 30 wickets at 17.53 and an economy of 4.99 in the 12 matches he played. The top awards for each format are decided by votes from players, umpires and media representatives on a 3-2-1 basis from each match throughout the year. Mooney and Tahlia McGrath were the standouts with bat in hand for Australia in T20Is hitting four half-centuries apiece; Mooney hit 499 runs at 56 with a strike rate of 134, while McGrath struck 435 at 62 with a strike rate of 145. Hazlewood's emergence as an elite T20 bowler sees him a leading contender to be named player of the year in the shortest format, with 26 wickets in 17 games and an economy rate of 7.52.
