ICC Test Cricketer of the Year award: Ashwin among nominees
Ravichandran Ashwin nominated for Test Cricketer of the year award

Senior Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has been shortlisted as one of the four nominees for the ICC Test Cricketer of the Year award. Ashwin recently overtook Harbhajan Singh to become India's most successful off-spinner in Test cricket. England skipper Joe Root, New Zealand fast bowler Kyle Jamieson, and Sri Lankan opener Dimuth Karunaratne are the others who have been nominated. Here are further details.

Statement
ICC announced the nominees on Tuesday

The International Cricket Council (ICC) announced the nominees in a release on Tuesday. "One of India's greatest match-winners in the longest format, R Ashwin again asserted his authority as one of the world's finest spinners in 2021. Apart from his wizardry with the ball, Ashwin also made invaluable contributions with the bat," the ICC said in the release.

Information
A look at the key details

The ICC awards will comprise as many as 13 individual recognitions. A total of five Team of the Year announcements for each of the three formats across both men's and women's cricket will also be made.

Stats
India's most successful off-spinner

Earlier this year, Ashwin surpassed the legendary Harbhajan Singh in terms of Test wickets. Ashwin now has 427 wickets in Test cricket, 10 more than Harbhajan. He is only behind Kapil Dev (434) and Anil Kumble (619) among Indians. On the overall list, Ashwin has the third-most wickets among off-spinners, after Muthiah Muralitharan (800) and Rangana Herath (433).

Details

Ashwin scored a 129-ball 29 against Australia and his partnership with Hanuma Vihari down the order helped India in drawing the Sydney Test. India won the 2020-21 Test series 2-1. During England's visit to India, Ashwin picked up 32 wickets and scored 189 runs. He bagged 14 wickets during New Zealand's two-match Test series against India. Overall, he has 52 wickets in at 16.23.

Trio
