Sri Lanka's batter Kamindu mendis crowned as ICC Men Emerging Cricketer of the Year

Dubai, Jan 26 (UNI) Kamindu Mendis, who shone for Sri Lanka with consistent batting displays in the year gone by, has been named as the ICC Men’s Emerging Cricketer of the Year.
Mendis, who scored 1451 runs across formats at an average just above 50, rubbed shoulders with some of the greats of the game in 2024, according to an ICC media release.
The flamboyant left-handed batter had made just a solitary Test appearance for Sri Lanka prior to 2024 but ended the year having not only cemented his place as an all-format resource for Sri Lanka but also becoming their go-to-player in moments of crises and when the stakes were high.
