A proud moment for all of us for all Pakistanis all over the world that our most favorite players have won the most prestigious awards by International Cricket Council (ICC) Awards 2021. ICC has announced Babar Azam as the ODI player of the year, Mohammad Rizwan as the T20I player of the year and Shaheen Shah Afridi as the player of the year.
This year, Shaheen is the fourth Pakistani player to earn an ICC award. Shaheen’s outstanding efforts in all three formats of the game in 2021 have been recognized, and he is the youngest Pakistani player to get the Sir Garfield Sobers trophy.
In all three formats, the 21-year-old was outstanding. With 47 wickets at an average of 17.06 in nine Test matches, he finished as the second-highest wicket-taker in Test cricket history.
In the calendar year, he took 8 wickets at an average of 41.37 in 6 ODIs, and in 21 T20I matches, he took 23 wickets at an average of 26.04 and an economy rate of 7.86.
