ICC Test Team of the Year 2024: The ICC has revealed their Men’s Test Team of the Year 2024 and has picked Australian skipper Pat Cummins as the captain of this side.
This ICC Test Team of the Year 2024 consists of the top performers in different departments in 2024 in the longest format. It includes four players from England, three from India, two from New Zealand, and one each from Australia and Sri Lanka.
The openers in the ICC Test Team of the Year 2024 are Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ben Duckett. Jaiswal was the second-highest Test run-scorer of 2024, scoring 1478 runs at an average of 54, and Duckett was behind Jaiswal, with 1149 runs.
The No. 3 and No. 4 spots belong to two members of the ‘Fab 4’: Kane Williamson and Joe Root. The former New Zealand captain amassed 1013 Test runs in 2024 at an average of 59, while the former England captain was the leading Test run-scorer last year, with 1556 runs.
The strength of the middle order in the ICC Test Team of the Year 2024 would be two young rising stars: Harry Brook and Kamindu Mendis. Brook amassed 1100 runs at an average of 55, while Mendis had a sizzling year, plundering 1049 runs at an average of 74.

Cummins, who took 37 wickets at an average of 24 and made 306 runs with the bat while leading Australia to six Test match wins and only two losses, including clinching the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, is the skipper of the ICC Test Team of the Year 2024.
Jasprit Bumrah would have been the first name on the ICC Test Team of the Year 2024: he was the leading wicket-taker in Tests last year with 71 scalps at an average of only 14.92. Matt Henry of New Zealand completes the bowling attack. Henry took 48 wickets at 18.58 last year.
