Who will be your ICC Men's Cricketer of the Year?

[MenInG]

The award that the ICC confers every year is called Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for ICC Men’s Cricketer of the Year and the idea is to recognize a cricketer for his performances across all formats.

Some names come to mind immediately and Virat Kohli stands out but others like Rohit etc could also figure.

Let's discuss your candidates (Poll will follow)

 

[160KPH]

Has to be Travis Head.

163(174) in the WTC Final to beat India.
137(120) match winning innings in the ODI World Cup final.
62(40) in the ODI World Cup Semi Final when the next highest score by an Australian was 30.

He was dominant in all the ICC events and their knockout stages.

Averaged 47 at a SR of 76 in Test cricket so far.
Averaged 51 at a SR of 133 in ODIs.
Averaged 34 at a SR of 174 in T20is.

One of the all time great years in cricket in terms of accomplishments.

Travis Head no question, No one else comes close

 

[ads101]

Travis head. No Pakistani deserves to be part of that poll. Especially Shaheen who’s felt like a shadow of himself lately (even though he’s not necessarily doing awful).

 

[sweep_shot]

My nominations:

Travis Head
Pat Cummins
Virat Kohli

I pick Travis Head. I think he is the player of the year (did well in both WC final and WTC final).

 

[Concerned]

Afridi steady decline deserves no recognition.

 

[Cricket Warrior]

I would pick Virat Kohli without any second thought here as he is in red hot form these days and obviously had a wonderful ODI World Cup.

 

[Major]

atleast share some stats

[Hitman]

Babar Azam deserves it for his unparalleled 2023 WC.

 

[160KPH]

Babar Azam deserves it for his unparalleled 2023 WC.

Hmmm, good choice. Maybe Shubman Gill for his clutch performance in the WC Final?

 

[Statpadder Inc]

Travis head, no doubt. 2 100s in icc finals and was consistently great

 

[FearlessRoar]

Without any arguments, Travis Head stands out because of his fantastic performances throughout the year.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Usman Khawaja, a Pakistan-born Australian star batter, is leading the way with the most Test runs in 2023. He can be the ICC Men's Player of the Year for 2023.

Who will win in 2023?

 

[Marooned]

Travis Head. Easy pick.

 

[Ab Fan]

Travis Head had an year similar to Stokes in 2019. He is front runner for Men's ICC cricketer of the year.

For ODI cricketer of the year, Kohli might be a front runner once again given his standout performance in World Cup 2023.

For Test cricketer of the year, Khwaja has this one in the bag.

 

[shaz619]

This award should be reserved for Mr. Kohli, I would like Indian PPers to come out of hiding and accept it on his behalf. They can even make a speech, we can get a special mic to magnify the audio and all. Thank you.

 

[BouncerGuy]

I think Travis head can be on top of the table to win this award. He has had a wonderful 2023.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Pat Cummins will be the new favorite to win this title this year. why?
Because he won the WTC
He won ashes
He won ODI World Cup 2023
20.25 CR value player in IPL
got 10 wickets in the boxing day test match and won it for his team.
