One of the finest stories in international cricket: the growth of Afghanistan and the elevation of @rashidkhan_19 to the title of the finest T20I player of the decade. Proof that talent exists everywhere and so, cricket must reach out to all.

Much deserved accolade for Virat Kohli. The #ICCMaleCricketerOfTheDecade is what you dream of when you start playing the game. Looking forward to more.

Bit surprised the ICC didn't give the Spirit of Cricket of the decade award to DRS for generously calling back Sachin in 2011. pic.twitter.com/kMCY8Y5NA7

Earlier on Sunday, the ICC had announced the teams of the decade in Test, ODI and T20I cricket. Virat Kohli and Ravichandran Ashwin are the two Indians who feature in the Test team of the decade, with Kohli named as the skipper of the Test side. Meanwhile, the ODI and T20I sides are led by MS Dhoni.

Rohit Sharma, Kohli, Dhoni and Jasprit Bumrah are the Indian players in at least one of the white-ball formats, while Ashwin and Kohli are the only Indians in the Test team.
