ICC Test Team of the Year led by Captain Pat Cummins with Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja, and Yashasvi Jaiswal as key players

The ICC XI features a strong representation from England with four players, including Ben Duckett, Joe Root, Harry Brook, and Jamie Smith. Kane Williamson and Matt Henry from New Zealand also make the lineup, alongside Australia's Pat Cummins.

Bumrah was India's standout performer in Tests in 2024. He began the year with a bang against England, taking 19 wickets in four matches, including a remarkable nine-wicket haul in Vishakhapatnam. He then scalped 11 wickets in just two games against Bangladesh at home.

In the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, Bumrah showed the world why he is regarded as the No.1 all-format bowler in the world. He took 32 wickets in the entire series and even led India to a victory in the series opener in Perth.

He also became the first bowler to average under 20 with a minimum of 200 wickets in Test cricket. In total, the pacer took 71 Test wickets in 2024 at a staggering average of 14.92.

Jaiswal and Jadeja make it count

Yashasvi Jaiswal established himself as one of the stars to watch out for in the future. The left-hander amassed a staggering 712 runs in the home series against England. This included two double centuries and three fifties.

In the all-important Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Jaiswal announced himself on the big stage as he hit 161 in the second innings at Perth. He finished India’s top scorer in the series, accumulating 391 runs.

In 2024, Jaiswal scored 1,478 runs at an impressive average of 54.74, a tally second only to England’s Joe Root.

Speaking of Ravindra Jadeja, his year started on the best note possible as he scored 89 runs and took five wickets in the first match against England in Hyderabad. He followed it up with his fourth Test century in Rajkot, scoring 100. Not only that, he also scalped seven wickets in the Test, playing a key role in India’s victory.
