Sri Lanka’s Kamindu Mendis Named ICC Men’s Emerging Cricketer Of The Year
ICC World Test Championship Final: Kamindu Mendis, Sri Lanka’s rising batting star, has been crowned the ICC Men’s Emerging Cricketer of the Year, following an impressive year of consistent performances.
Mendis scored a total of 1451 runs across all formats in 2024, averaging just over 50. He was also the joint-third quickest to score 1000 runs in Men’s Tests, matching Sir Don Bradman’s 13-innings milestone.
In the Test arena, Mendis was a standout. He accumulated 1049 runs in just nine Tests at an average of 74.92, making him one of only six players to score over 1000 runs in the calendar year. His tally included five centuries and three fifties, and his ability to convert starts into big scores was vital for Sri Lanka’s success.
