5 cricketers who could win the 2018 ICC Test Player of the Year award

#3 Kusal Mendis

Kusal Mendis

Kusal Mendis is one of the most consistent players in the Sri Lankan squad. He has shown a lot of consistency in the Test cricket last year. While his teammates are struggling to perform, this man did not disappoint his skipper.

The right-handed batsman began the year with a positive note when he smashed 196 runs against Bangladesh. He continued the same performance and played a lot of good knocks throughout the year.

He then smashed the centuries against West Indies and New Zealand. In 2018, the 34-year-old scored 1023 runs from just 23 innings at an astonishing average of 46.50, including three centuries and four half-centuries.

The Sri Lankan cricketer, Kusal Mendis was the second leading run-scorer in the Test format in 2018. Mendis, who played an important role for his team in 2018, has a chance to win the ICC Test Player of the Year Award.
