Why there's no category for Asian associates?

There are 8 Asian nations among top 20 associate teams but Asian players have never received Asian associate player of the year award from the ICC. They need our support.

Thank you for the suggestion bro.

Could you please add :-
22. #AsianBloc - Associate Team of the Year -2020
23. #AsianBloc - Associate Player of the Year - 2020
 
I put misbahs nominatoon name in every category
 
I would request that Indian candidates be excluded from Asian Bloc awards bearing in mind India's refusal to compete against one of the premier Asian national sides, and not forgetting their failed attempt to abandon the Asian Bloc by joining a breakaway Big Three comprising two non-Asian teams.

What is "Ultimate Asian" of the year even mean? What is it supposed to signify?

And the "Youtuber" of the year - do the candidates have to be ex cricketers only?

Ultimate Asian is an emotion that cannot merely be described in words.

Youtuber of the year could be current or ex Cricketers both.
 
I would request that Indian candidates be excluded from Asian Bloc awards bearing in mind India's refusal to compete against one of the premier Asian national sides, and not forgetting their failed attempt to abandon the Asian Bloc by joining a breakaway Big Three comprising two non-Asian teams.

Although I don't angree with you but I see from where you come from and I respect the feelings.

Nothing for Bangladesh, Afghan players?

Great job bro

But I would suggest you to add Singapore as one of the nominee for the associate teams as they dominated the Asia Cup Eastern Qualifiers. Nepal were awful in that tournament.

For Associate player of the year, Tim David of Singapore should be there. He was the star of Singapore in the qualifiers. Currently he is playing in BBL and has performed well there.

Ah you’re right. Singapore in place of Qatar and Tim David in place of Syazrul Idris then? Also what do you think of the rest of my picks?

This is a commendable effort :14:

I must say nominating Anushka Bhabhi ji for Ultimate Asian of the Year sounds quite apt.

But was sad to see Caught Behind not being nominated for Youtuber of the Year :(

Conciliatory nomination of Rashid bhai in TV analyst of the year. Caught Behind started the fire, but Youtube must go on :(
 
I think Pujara should be at least nominated for test player

Tbh with you I have not been following Lanka or Bangladesh cricket at all these days so someone who has been following them should post some good nominations from them.

Captain of the year goes to Rahane.

Naseem Shah: student of the year.

Awesome work. Agree with most of it.
 
Looking forward to hosting Asianbloc cricket awards night this year.

Who is going to win the Ultimate Asian?
 
Massive day for #Asianbloc at the World Cup.

Afghanistan you made us proud.

As @Rana said in another thread, today’s win of Afghanistan has put all SENA nations on red alert. I think only Southern Afrikaan look safe, rest anything is possible now.

Kusal Mendis, Rizwan etc can all go crazy

Asianbloc collectively looks like a force in this World Cup
 
The cleverest thing PCB did was playing so many series versus Zimbabwe et al ensuring automatic qualification.

The whole ICC system is a scam

I don’t think qualification would have been issue for the greens
 
Another big match for the #Asianbloc tonight.

All eyes will be on our brothers of Sri
Lanka vs Aussies

Come on Mendis bro.
