India and South Africa both had three players in the 2022 Women’s ODI Team of the Year, giving them the joint-highest representation. Harmanpreet Kaur had a great year in one-day internationals, blasting two hundred and five half centuries. She contributed five wickets with her off-spin as well.

In addition to Renuka Thakur, who in her debut season in the format picked up 18 wickets in just 7 matches, Kaur’s India’s deputy Smriti Mandhana was also included in the team for her six half-centuries and a century. On Monday, Mandhana and Thakur were additionally chosen to the T20I Team of the Year.

The figures the seasoned India all-rounder produced in 2022 only serve to reinforce the idea that she is one of the sport’s most reliable players.

Throughout the year, Kaur scored two hundred and five half-centuries, with her unbeaten 143* against England in September standing out as the clear standout. Additionally, the 33-year-old contributed five significant wickets with her more than competent off-spin.

Smriti Mandhana of India has been selected as the team’s opener in addition to Harmanpreet Kaur.

Indian bowler Renuka Singh has also earned a spot in the starting lineup. Alyssa Healy and Beth Mooney of Australia, Laura Wolvaardt, Ayabonga Khaka, and Shabnim Ismail of South Africa, Nat Sciver and Sophie Ecclestone of England, and Amelia Kerr of New Zealand have all been nominated to the squad.
