Australia has had only two players picked in the ICC’s ODI team of the year which includes six Indian stars.
Indians have dominated the team despite losing the World Cup final to Australia in November.
Travis Head and Adam Zampa were the only Australians picked in the team, which didn’t have room for World Cup-winning captain Pat Cummins, or Glenn Maxwell who played one of the greatest innings of all-time during the tournament.
By comparison, India had Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Mohammed Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav and Mohammed Shami all picked.

Meanwhile, Five Australian players have been named in the men’s ICC Test team of the year for 2023, with Alex Carey’s selection the major surprise.
Carey has become a fixture behind the stumps for Australia and while he’s been near faultless with the gloves, his most noteworthy moment of 2023 came when he ran out Jonny Bairstow after his English counterpart wandered out of his crease at Lord’s.
No wicketkeeper had more dismissals than Carey in 2023. With 54 dismissals (44 catches and 10 stumpings) in 12 matches, Carey was head and shoulders above the rest, with the next keeper on the list – West Indies’ Joshua Da Silva – registering only 31 dismissals.
The 32-year-old also had a solid year with the bat, scoring 44 off 68 balls in the first and an unbeaten 66 in the second that took the game away from India in the World Test Championship Final.
He followed it up with another fifty against England in the first Ashes Test and finished the year on a high with a fifty against Pakistan.
Pat Cummins was named captain of the ICC Test team of the year, while Usman Khawaja, Travis Head and Mitchell Starc were also selected.
Indian spin duo Ravindra Jadeja and Ravi Ashwin were picked, as was recently retired England fast bowler Stuart Broad.
Head and Adam Zampa were named in the ICC ODI team of the year, which featured three Indian bowlers, three Indian batters as well as South African pair Heinrich Klaasen and Marco Jansen.
Australia’s dominant women’s team featured heavily in the ICC ODI team of the year, with youngster Phoebe Litchfield, Beth Mooney, Ellyse Perry, Ash Garder and Annabel Sutherland all getting the nod.
Mooney, Perry, Gardner and fast bowler Megan Schutt were also named in the ICC women’s T20I team of the year.
The Australian Test summer wraps up with a day-night Test against the West Indies beginning on Thursday in Brisbane.
