How did Mustafizur Rahman win ICC Emerging Player award when he played 0 Tests and 0 ODIs in 2016?

[Slog]

Baffling

Award is given based off 8 t20s

Im not sure and perhaps the period also includes some part of 2015, but even then he just hasnt played enough of internationals. And what he has played has all been at home.

 

[Aman]

Qualification period isn't the entirety of 2016, it would have been something like Sep 15 to Sep 16.

Aman sahb he didnot play any tests and odis till August 2015, the award should be given to babar azam or Rabada

So Babar's WI series, and NZ tests are not considered.

even then i dont think fizz did enough.

there have to be other deserving folks

 

[Pakistanian]

Nothing about the ICC makes sense! Sad!

 

[Slog]

Aman sahb he didnot play any tests and odis till August 2015, the award should be given to babar azam or Rabada

yes how in the world isnt it rabada.

Babar also did well in NZ ODIs but if WI series isnt considered then maybe yea theres a case he doesnt play

but rabada!

I don't know how many games he played during the qualification period.. but if he did only play as few as he mentioned, it would be a joke.. Then again, this an award Pujara won a year/s after his debut..

Oh yeah, completely forgot about Rabada

That is a disgrace.

 

[Statsman]

You know the reason

If you can't remember then let me help you....Asia cup final run out, Rohit Sharma no ball etc. etc.

 

[Aman]

How on earth did Rabada miss out?

 

[Slog]

lol actualy dont know what happened

he missed a run out?

 

[ali ray]

Babar also did well in NZ ODIs but if WI series isnt considered then maybe yea theres a case he doesnt play

but rabada!

Slog he also did well in England Odis october 2015 and also has respectable stats in england tour 2016

 

[ali ray]

When Ravi Jadeja with 3 wickets in 5 odis is in ODI team of the Year, then you may better know the quality of this rubbish Awards

 

[ali ray]

Also David Warner was selected as Opener in Test team with 35 average, even Vijay or Azhar are better than him...

 

[Statsman]

lol actualy dont know what happened

he missed a run out?

My bad. Not run out but collision. BCB appealed to ACC after the match that Aizaz Cheema deliberately collided with Mahmudullah in the final over. Google it. #nottryingtocreatecontroversyhere

Really? Is this true?

 

[Statsman]

Really? Is this true?

Yeah. lol

Axar Patel played instead of Jadeja during most of the year.

 

[Aman]

Yeah. lol

Axar Patel played instead of Jadeja during most of the year.

Kane has no right to be in there either, aside from that one series against Aus, he failed throughout the year. Khawaja and Smith are way more deserving than him.

yaar yeh aizaz cheema kahan se agaya.

that happened in asia cup 2012

 

[Statsman]

Average of 72 with 4 hundreds in 3 countries (all away). He has done fairly well imo.

 

[fawadahmed087]

Well that's ICC for you......! Picking randomly I would say there are far more deserving players then him who have proved their worth in all formats of the game.

 

[Statsman]

yaar yeh aizaz cheema kahan se agaya.

that happened in asia cup 2012

Refer to what happened after that, and after RS no ball and after Taskin's ban.

ICC doesn't want to face the wrath of the Bangladeshi fans by not awarding it to Fizz.

Joke ka toh bedhagarak kar diya, ab poora likhwa key ban bhi karwaogey

 

[Executioner]

In the first year of his international career he averaged less than 15 across all formats.

Now that is a feat no one has ever achieved. The only thing questionnable is the period selected for his performance.

 

[Indiafan]

Hahahahahhahahaja.

Lots of baffling awards here. Who is the committee?! Let ke guess.. Some parosis in there?

Rahul Dravid, Gary Kirsten and Kumar Sangakkara are the ones who chose

 

[Hawkeye]

Rahul Dravid, Gary Kirsten and Kumar Sangakkara are the ones who chose

Clueless selections by them. )

I'm not even sure if they really watch these players, or follow other teams.

 

[kingusama92]

Qualification Period: 14 September 2015 and 20 September 2016

Mustafizur Rahman

8 Wkts at 11 AVG (3 ODIs)

19 Wkts at 11 AVG (10 T20Is)

Kagiso Rabada

29 Wkts at 24 AVG (8 Tests)

26 Wkts at 23 AVG (15 ODIs)

14 Wkts at 22 AVG (10 T20Is)

 

[Zak_Fan]

Fiz is surely one of the most deserving players, but the choice becomes quite absurd when you look at the number of matches he played in last 1 year.

 

[Varun]

Clearly shows how the BCB is spreading their tentacles into the ICC.

The rest of the cricket world must unite to dispel them and their grasp. Come, join the BCCI, a worthy foe to the BCB and we shall together extinguish the fire they have created!

 

[street cricketer]

Conversation in the ICC selection committee must have went something like this

"So what's the next award chaps?"

"ICC emerging player of the year award"

"Lolz..do we even have such an award.."

"Whatever..who can we give it to?"

"Adam Voges had a nice start to his test career"

"Uhh..Think he's a bit too old now to get the award. And will probably retire the next month anyway"

"What about that Fizz guy. That yorker to Russell in the IPL was EPIC!"

"Yup, let's give it to the guy.."

"What's the next award..."

 

[KhalidRafi]

Azhar should have made the team over Warner. Had a pretty good year and scored a triple ton too. Warner wasn't nearly that good in Tests. And Rabada and Babar were far more deserving of Emerging Cricketer of the Year. Especially Rabada.

Triple ton didn't count.

Qualification period is from 14 September 2015 to 20 September 2016.

In reality BCB and BCCI are working in secret to rule the cricket world. the sport will be played by brown people only

 

[abughio]

also voges in test team no kohli (what an innings in forst test against eng) no younis.. played two blinders to save/win series thia year..

 

[GenericBrand]

Its weird but they're probably making up for it for not giving it to him in 2015 or something

 

[KhalidRafi]

this qualification period **** makes no sense. ICC should just take into account the entire year starting from January. Since the award is called 'Cricketer of the Year'

 

[Slog]

entire year hasnt finished

 

[Statsman]

I guess they need some time to evaluate the numbers, shortlist players etc. and then arrange final judges to make a decision.

 

[street cricketer]

HAHAHA, exactly.

But, how about the teams? Stuff in as many OZs and INDs as possible?

Anyhow, BCB=BCCI=ICC

THE TRIO! AND IT RHYMES!

Just one Indian player in the test team.

4 Eng and 4 Aus players in the test team.

 

[Dios]

I guess the ICC did not want to embarrass themselves by not giving a future legend the emerging player award. Ideally, they should have given it to him last year but they realised they messed up and didn't want to miss the moment.

 

[TalentSpotterPk]

Well deserved.

 

[Aman]

The man who is going to clean up at the SA cricket awards in his first year (beating the likes of Steyn, Amla, AB, Faf, QdK and Tahir) can't even get the ICC Emerging Cricketer of the Year award )

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

I am surprised.not because fizz got that but because on the other thread everyone expecting others than fizz to get it and out of curiosity i asked ppers that whether fizz can get it or not and everyone told me that he can't seems icc read those posts on pp and decided to give it to fizz.

 

[WC-Passion]

I can't remember the last time ICC did something that made any sense, not really surprised at the absurd dates and choice.

 

[natkhat-shahzada]

In the first year of his international career he averaged less than 15 across all formats.

Now that is a feat no one has ever achieved. The only thing questionnable is the period selected for his performance.

Yes. By using the same logic, lets also award Bradman to be the test cricketer of 2016 since no one achieved 99.96 Batting average. The only thing questionable will be same i.e. the period selected for Bradman's performance.

 

[Executioner]

But he scored those runs 50 years back. Fizz did them not 1.5 years back.

Let me tell you why this is emerging player thing is a problem. Unlike other awards where the players have debuted long before and have played in the entire period of September of 2015 to that of 2016.

However when it comes to emerging players category the issue arrives with when exactly the player debuted. I am sure ICC took into consideration the performance of the bowler mainly in the first 12 months of his career.

Now mustafiz debuted in 2015 he had 5 months to perform before the qualification period was over I.e September 2015... Basically, he obviously couldn't do much in that timefrsme could he?

Now he kept on playing till April this year and he was absolutely sensational averaging less than 15 in every format. So he played one whole year of cricket. His absolute first.

It would be a massive letdown for ICC to consider someone else in his stead because he outshined every other bowler in the world in the same period. Perhaps didn't get to play tests but not his fault. Now you don't need to be genius to say that mustafiz was unquestionably the best find of 2015-2016 period.

What I personally feel that ICC has not properly used the time frame into consideration. The title of the award is "emerging player" and it puts emphasis on the player's performance more in his first year in international cricket.

If it was basically September 2015-2016 then obviously rabada would have been more deserving

 

[Syed1]

Who cares about these ICC Awards anyway.

It's not going to change anything in terms of team performance.

ICC also has 4 English and 4 Australians in the test team when both teams have been flopping like no tomorrow throughout this year. Ideally the test team would have been filled with players who have atleast done well this year.

 

[JattMaula]

The man who is going to clean up at the SA cricket awards in his first year (beating the likes of Steyn, Amla, AB, Faf, QdK and Tahir) can't even get the ICC Emerging Cricketer of the Year award )

I think his non participation in IPL counted against him.

Panel can't set a bad precedent by Awarding him.

 

[BDwarriors]

None newcomers made more headlines or were talk of the day or had impact on matchs result like mustafiz. Rabada is good but mustafizs own status and effort helped a team like bangladesh more.

 

[Rayyman]

None newcomers made more headlines or were talk of the day or had impact on matchs result like mustafiz. Rabada is good but mustafizs own status and effort helped a team like bangladesh more.

It's not about who made more headlines or who helped his team more. It's about who performed better. Rabada has performed better and is the better player.

 

[Thivagar]

Lots of talented youngsters have come through this year.

 

[Aman]

Rabada won SA a Test against England on his own and is being a considered future ATG of the game for good reason..

I think his non participation in IPL counted against him.

Cannot wait to see how Kohli performs against Rabada, it should be a legendary battle

 

[Screopho]

Cannot wait to see how Kohli performs against Rabada, it should be a legendary battle

2018 it is then. Should be awesome, that too it will in SA territory.

 

[Saj]

Some of these ICC awards are a joke.

Making a mockery of the awards.
