The ICC ODI Men’s Team of the Year 2024 was announced on January 24, notably excluding any Indian players despite being an Asia-dominated lineup. The team comprises four Sri Lankan players, three from Pakistan, three from Afghanistan, and one from the West Indies. Sri Lanka, who played the most ODI matches, dominates the selection with Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, Charith Asalanka (who captains the team), and Wanindu Hasaranga. Asalanka led Sri Lanka to a historic series win against India in August 2024.

Pakistani representatives include Saim Ayub, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and Haris Rauf. Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Azmatullah Omarzai, and Allah Ghazanfar represent Afghanistan. Sherfane Rutherford from the West Indies completes the team. The team’s composition reflects the limited ODI matches played in 2024, a T20 World Cup year, which resulted in reduced participation from teams like India, Australia, New Zealand, England, South Africa, and Bangladesh.
