Azmatullah Omarzai Bags ICC Men’s ODI Cricketer Of The Year Honour
Mehidy Hasan Miraz: Afghanistan all-rounder Azmatullah Omarzai has been named the ICC Men’s ODI Cricketer of the Year award for 2024. He beat competition from the West Indies’ Sherfane Rutherford, and Sri Lankan duo of Kusal Mendis and Wanindu Hasaranga to clinch the honour.
In the process, Omarzai has also become the first player from Afghanistan to win this coveted honour, after previously bagging a spot in the Men’s ODI Team of the Year. In 2024, Omarzai was Afghanistan’s second-highest ODI run scorer with 417 runs at an average of 52.12.
He was also the second-highest wicket taker for Afghanistan in the 50-over format after AM Ghazanfar, by picking 17 wickets in 14 games at an average of 20.47, as the side won four out of their five ODI series in the calendar year.
