Answer- D
1) Babar Azam, the captain of the Pakistani cricket team, has been appointed as the captain of the ICC Men's T20I team of the year for 2021.
2) The ICC team of the year highlights the top 11 male cricketers who have excelled in their performance either with the bat, ball or all-round contribution in a calendar year. Unfortunately, no Indian male player has made it to the team of 11.
3) Smriti Mandhana is the only Indian women's cricket player named in the ICC Women's T20I Team of the Year for 2021. This marks the third time that Smriti has made it to the T20I team of the year, having previously been named in the team as an opener in 2018 and as a number three in 2019.
