UAE Captain Esha Oza Named ICC Women's Associate Cricketer Of The Year
Asian Cricket Council Women: United Arab Emirates captain Esha Oza has been named the ICC Women's Associate Cricketer of the Year for 2024. She started the year in style as the UAE won the Asian Cricket Council Women’s Premier Cup, with Oza finishing as the leading scorer and being named Player of the Tournament.
The classy right-hander also played a big role in the UAE’s run to the knockout stages of the 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier later in the year. Oza’s brilliant 66-run unbeaten innings, from 39 balls, inspired her team’s victory over Netherlands in that competition – a result that saw the UAE beat the Dutch to a top-two spot in a competitive Group B.
And Oza very nearly pulled off a miracle in the semifinals, smashing a defiant 66 from 44 balls against eventual tournament winners Sri Lanka as the UAE fell narrowly short of a huge upset in Abu Dhabi.
