ICC Men Test Team Of The Year 2024

The International Cricket Council has announced the ICC Men's Test Team of the Year 2024. Indian players feature highly in the team, which this year comprises Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jasprit Bumrah, and Ravindra Jadeja. Even Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma failed to find their place as the performances did not go up to the mark this year.

Yashasvi Jaiswal- Young Star

He has earned a place in the team due to his great season in 2024. The 22-year-old opener made his Test debut in 2023 and made a statement with consistency. He scored 1,478 runs in 15 Tests at an average of 54.74. He had three centuries and nine half-centuries. The impressive run included scoring over 700 runs in a five-match Test series against England, where he also registered a double century. On the Australia tour, he gave a crucial century in Perth and two fifties, which further sealed his reputation.

Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja Shine

Jasprit Bumrah's fiery performances put him in the team. He took 71 wickets for India in 2024, and his best tally was in the five-match Test series against Australia, taking 31 wickets. He dominated on any surface, and his ability to do so made him one of the standout bowlers of the year.

Ravindra Jadeja also found a place in the ICC Test Team, thanks to his all-round contributions. The spin-bowling all-rounder remained a crucial asset for Team India throughout the year.

Big Names Miss Out

Veteran players Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma failed to make the list due to underwhelming performances in 2024. Both struggled with form and consistency, leading to speculation about their future in Test cricket.

Team Highlights

ICC Test Team 2024: Skippered by Pat Cummins from Australia, players from England, New Zealand, and Sri Lanka will also form part of this team. Most represented country remains England with four players: Joe Root and rising stars Harry Brook, Ben Duckett, and Jamie Smith. In New Zealand, Kane Williamson and Matt Henry find a place along with Kamindu Mendis from Sri Lanka. Interestingly, no cricketer from South Africa and Pakistan was included in this year's team.
