Ashwin, Khawaja, Head, Root Among Nominees For ICC Men’s Test Cricketer Of The Year 2023 Award
World Test Championship Final: Veteran India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, Australia’s left-handed batting pair of Usman Khawaja and Travis Head, and England’s premier batter Joe Root have made it to the shortlist for ICC Men’s Test Cricketer of the Year 2023 award.
Ashwin had previously won the award in 2016 and was nominated for this honour in 2021. In 2023, Ashwin picked 41 wickets in seven matches, despite missing out on selection for India in the World Test Championship final against Australia at The Oval in June.
In the 2023 Border-Gavaskar Trophy series on home soil, Ashwin's impressive performance saw him claim 25 wickets in four matches to help India retain the coveted title. In the process, he also became the highest wicket-taker for India against Australia in Test cricket with 114 wickets, surpassing Anil Kumble’s 111 scalps.
