On Monday, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced the Women’s T20I Team of the Year 2022. (January 23). Four Indian cricketers, including star batter Smriti Mandhana, are included, as are three Australian players. Sophie Devine of New Zealand has been appointed captain of the 11 extraordinary players in 2022. Let us have a look at the team.

Smriti Mandhana

Mandhana scored an undefeated 51 off 25 balls in a 66-run chase, accounting for more than 70% of the team’s runs. She also scored two half-centuries in the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, boosting India to victories against Pakistan and England. In women’s T20Is, she concluded the year as the fourth-highest run-scorer.
