ICC announce award nominations for players of the decade - Yasir Shah & Misbah only Pakistanis

[Mamoon]

Where on earth are Sana Mir & Younis Khan in the list and why is Afridi not in the list for T20I who is arguably one of the best players of the format? This is ******** what about umar gul, the best t20i bowler?

Afridi and Gul didn’t do anything in T20 internationals in 2010s. Their peak years in the format was from 2007 to 2009-10.

Gul barely played after 2012-13 and Afridi didn’t perform from 2011 onwards until his retirement in 2016.

Both would have been nominated if this was for the 2000-2010 period, but there are far better players when you consider the 2010-2020 period.

Younis should have been mentioned though, but a lot of great Test players have missed out on nominations for Test cricketer of the year.
