The International Cricket Council has announced the ICC Team of the Year for both ODIs and Tests, with India pacer Mohammed Shami and off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin are the only Indians in the list.

Mohammed Shami, who was the star performer for India in the World Cup 2015, and also the leading wickettaker for the men in blue, is in the ICC team of the year for ODIs that is captained by South Africa’s AB de Villiers.

Ravichandran Ashwin, meanwhile, is named the 12th man in the ICC team of the year for Tests, and the lone Indian in the team that is captained by Alastair Cook of England.

“I would like to congratulate all the players for their selection in the Test and ODI teams of the year,” Anil Kumble said. “It is an achievement for each of them to be proud of and a recognition for their good performances in the qualifying period.”

“Team selection is one of the toughest jobs and when you have a large pool of outstanding players to select from in a 12-month period then it becomes even more difficult.”

“It was a particularly busy year, with a series of stellar performances throughout the Test and ODI formats, not least in a hugely successful ICC Cricket World Cup 2015, which has greatly enhanced the popularity and profile of the game internationally,” he concluded.
