ICC announces Men’s T20 Team of the year for 2023

The truncated version of the game is known for its fast-paced and entertaining nature. Moreover, it offers players a platform to showcase their skills. The format encourages aggressive and innovative batting wherein batters showcase their potential to score runs at a rate of knots while also playing a wide range of shots.

The format has seen the emergence of power-hitters and creative stroke play when it matters the most. On the contrary, bowlers have also been picking up the lessons on the go and working on their variations to keep aggressive batters in check.

Some of their weapons include the likes of slower balls, yorkers and various types of spin deliveries. Meanwhile, the ICC has analyzed the players’ performances in Twenty20 Internationals from the previous calendar year and announced the Men’s T20 team of the year for 2023.
