In a significant development, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced its T20I team of the year for 2024. The apex body has named India's T20 World Cup winning skipper Rohit Sharma as the captain of the side. 

Rohit, Head, Salt And Babar Included As Core Batters

While Rohit has been selected as the opener alongside Travis Head, England's explosive batter Phil Salt has made it into the team as the number three. Meanwhile, Pakistan's experienced cricketer Babar Azam is slotted at number four ahead of T20I stalwarts like Suryakumar Yadav and Virat Kohli. 

West Indies' swashbuckling keeper-batter Nicholas Pooran has also been included as one of the core members of the side with Hardik Pandya and Sikandar Raza. Afghanistan's wily tweaker Rashid Khan and Sri Lanka's veteran bowling all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga have been picked as the leaders of the spin department. 

Bumrah, Arshdeep To Lead The Pace Attack

India's exceptional fast bowlers of Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh have been chosen as the frontline pacers in the ICC T20I team of the year. While Bumrah was prolific throughout the T20 World Cup, Arshdeep played a massive role in India's triumphant campaign in the United States and Caribbean. 

Meanwhile, the absence of Virat Kohli and Shaheen Afridi has grabbed the attention of fans. However, the T20I stalwarts have been rightly dropped, as they were nowhere close to their best in T20Is last year.
