Winning ICC Men’s ODI Cricketer Of The Year Award Will Be Inspiration For Youth: Omarzai
Winning ICC Men: After becoming the first Afghanistan player to win the ICC Men's ODI Cricketer of the Year award, seam-bowling all-rounder Azmatullah Omarzai said he hopes the honour bestowed on him will serve as an inspiration for youngsters back home.
In 2024, Omarzai was Afghanistan’s second-highest ODI run scorer with 417 runs behind Rahmanullah Gurbaz, coming 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.
“It is a matter of great happiness for me to become the first Afghan player to win the ICC ODI Cricketer of the Year award. This will also be an inspiration for our youth and for the future generation. I will try to play better in the future. There is still a lot to achieve,” Omarzai was quoted as saying by the ICC on Friday.
