Fizz in ICC's 2018 ODI team
Ace Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman was the only player from the country to find a place in the International Cricket Council's (ICC's) ODI team of the year announced on their website yesterday.
Mustafizur, nicknamed Fizz, had an excellent 2018, taking 29 wickets at an average of 21.72. He was also instrumental in Bangladesh's march to the Asia Cup final in September, during which he was the joint-highest wicket-taker with 10 scalps at an average of 18.5.
“His ability to swing the ball coupled with his bag of wily slower ones makes him a fine ODI bowler,” the ICC article said.
Mustafizur also made the ODI team of the year in 2015, his breakout year. He was also named one of the Emerging Players of the Year in 2016 by the ICC.
