Moahmmed Shami had pipped Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj to become their most impactful performer in the World Cup. He finished as the tournament's highest wicket-taker with 24 and 43 for the year.

Dlishan Madushanka is a rare sliver lining in an otherwise disappointing year for Sri Lanka. Madushanka picked up 21 wickets in 9 matches at 25. He finished with 31 scalps in 15 ODIs in 2023 at 24.06.

Given Travis Head's contributions in the 2023 World Cup, it was impossible to leave him out. Having finished with 570 runs in 13 ODIs in 2023, including a hundred in the World Cup final, Head is the 12th man in this line-up.
