Pakistani skipper Babar Azam has been named as the captain of the ICC Men’s T20I team of the year for 2021.
The ICC Team of the Year recognises the 11 best players in men’s cricket who have impressed one and all with their performances in a calendar year, either with the bat, ball, or their all-around performance.
No Indian male player has found a place in the team of 11.
However, in the ICC Women's T20 Team of the Year for 2021, Smriti Mandhana is the only Indian woman player named in the 11-man squad. Smriti has entered this year's T20 squad for the third time after 2018 (opener) and 2019 (number three).
England’s Nat Sciver has been made the captain of ICC Women’s T20I Team of the Year for 2021.
