Pakistan's Nida Dar named in ICC Women's T20I Team of 2022

All-rounder Nida Dar becomes the only Pakistani player to be named in the International Cricket Council (ICC) Women's T20I Team of the Year (2022).

ICC included players in the year's team based on their performance in all three departments of the game. 

Four Indian players alongside three from Australia and a player each from New Zealand, Pakistan, England and Sri Lanka were named in the elite T20I women's team. 

New Zealand's Sophie Devine has been named the captain of the side.

Pakistan's Nida Dar, with 15 wickets at an average of 18.33 and an economy rate of 5.50 in T20Is in 2022, enjoyed one of the best years in her career. Only in her three out of 14 T20I appearances in 2022, Nida went wicketless. 

Dar's best all-rounder performance came against arch-rivals India in the Women’s Asia Cup 2022 when she scored 56* off 37 balls with the bat before taking 2-23 with the ball to win the Player of the Match award as Pakistan notched a win over India.

Nida was also nominated for ICC's Women's T20I Player of the Year for her steller performances in previous year.
