Pakistan’s star batsman Babar Azam has been nominated for the prestigious ICC Men’s T20I Cricketer of the Year 2024 award. This nomination cements his reputation as one of the most consistent performers in international cricket, having amassed an impressive 738 runs in 24 matches over the year.
The former Pakistan captain has outshined all other nominees on the shortlist in terms of run-scoring, showcasing his exceptional form and reliability at the crease. His performances underscore Pakistan’s continued dominance in the T20 format.
Babar will face tough competition for the award. Australia’s Travis Head, known for his explosive batting, scored 539 runs in just 15 matches. Zimbabwe’s all-rounder Sikandar Raza contributed with both bat and ball, accumulating 573 runs and taking 24 wickets in 24 matches. Meanwhile, India’s Arshdeep Singh displayed remarkable skill with the ball, claiming 36 wickets in 18 matches to solidify his place among the contenders.
This recognition is another feather in Babar’s cap, following a series of individual accolades that have showcased his impact on the global stage. His performances have not only elevated his own stature but have also emphasized Pakistan’s batting depth and capability in the shortest format of the game.
The winner will be revealed at the ICC Awards ceremony, where Babar hopes to add another milestone to his illustrious career and further enrich Pakistan’s cricketing legacy.
