Shai Hope (wk)
Shai Hope is a kind of batsman, who has all the gears in his repertoire, a reason behind his average of 52.75 in ODIs. This year has been a fruitful one for the Barbados-born as he was arguably the West Indies’ standout batsman with 1,345 runs at an average of 61.13.
In a Caribbean batting of power-hitters, Hope brings in calmness and has played the sheet anchor’s role to good effect. Hope didn’t have the greatest of outings in the World Cup by his standards. The 26-year-old scored 274 runs at 34.25 with three half-centuries.
Barring the event in England and Wales, Hope didn’t flatter to deceive. His highest ODI score of 170 came back in May this year versus Ireland in Dublin. Hope ended the year, scoring 222 runs in three matches against India with a century in Chennai.
