Esha oza

Namibia captain Gerhard Erasmus and UAE batter Esha Oza on Wednesday were named as ICC's Associate Cricketers of the Year in men's and women's categories respectively for 2022.

Erasmus, 27, came close to amassing 1000 ODI runs during the calendar year, a feat more impressive considering just eight of his 20 innings were at home. Erasmus made a statement with a match-winning knock of 121 not out (120) against Oman in Dubai to begin his year in ODI cricket, and the right-hander went on to make eight half-centuries.
