On Wednesday, the International Cricket Council (ICC) made the same announcement and noted that voting for the award would start in January.
In July of this year, the 23-year-old cricketer made his debut against England and contributed two wickets to India’s 50-run triumph in Southampton. In Jasprit Bumrah’s absence, he has emerged as one of India’s best death bowlers of the modern era. And has been in charge of the assault during the final overs. He has 33 in 21 T20Is with an average of 18.12. He has achieved this early success because of his ability to take wickets. And the swing he generates with the new ball.
In the ICC Men’s Asia Cup, Arshdeep picked up five wickets in five games. But in the T20 World Cup, he improved and finished with ten wickets in six games.
