Hasan Ali has singlehandedly dragged us from being number 9 to 6 so he has to be the player for the year.
Honorable mentions in that order.
1. Shoaib Malik (for that amazing team talk in champions trophy)
2. Babar Azam (his genius will be underrated by players who are used to seeing stylish 20's and needless slogs)
3. Thisara Perera (dropped a catch, came to pakistan, twice - no better time to award him tamgha-e-imtiaz)
4. Shadab (for that referral and bringing fire back to the soft underbelly of lower middle order)
5. Muhammad Amir (for giving us a moment to replay till the end of time)
