Suryakumar Yadav and Yashasvi Jaiswal of India received nominations for the ICC Awards 2023 on Wednesday.
Jaiswal received a nomination for the ICC Emerging Men’s Cricketer of the Year 2023, while Suryakumar was one of the four candidates for the ICC Men’s T20 Cricketer of the Year 2023.
After winning the award in 2022, the 33-year-old Indian dominated 2023 in the shortest format, amassing 733 runs from 17 innings at a strike rate of 155.95 and an average of 48.86.
In men’s T20 cricket, Suryakumar’s century was the second-fastest for India after Rohit Sharma’s 35-ball score against the same opponent in 2017. India won by a commanding 91 runs.
Sikandar Raza of Zimbabwe, Alpesh Ramjani of Uganda, and Mark Chapman of New Zealand are the other three nominees.
In addition to Jaiswal, the leading batsman of New Zealand, Rachin Ravindra, South Africa’s Gerald Coetzee, and Sri Lanka’s Dilshan Madushanka are the other contenders for the title.
Within the women’s division, Ellyse Perry, the past two-time recipient of the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy for ICC Women’s Cricketer of the Year (2019 and 2017), joins West Indies all-around legend Hayley Matthews, England spin specialist Sophie Ecclestone, and Chamari Athapaththu of Sri Lanka, who was in brilliant form throughout the year.
The nominees for Emerging Women’s Cricketer of the Year are Phoebe Litchfield from Australia, Lauren Bell from England, Marufa Akter from Bangladesh, and Darcey Carter from Scotland.
