India’s Renuka Singh awarded ICC Emerging Women's Cricketer of the Year for 2022

Other nominees for the award were Alice Capsey, Darcie Brown and Yastika Bhatia.

India's newest fast bowling star Renuka Singh has been given the ICC Emerging Women's Cricketer of the Year for 2022 after she had a breakthrough year with the ball in both ODIs and T20Is.

Renuka beat Australia's Darcie Brown, England's Alice Capsey, and compatriot Yastika Bhatia to win the award. The right-arm pacer claimed 40 wickets for her country in 2022 in just 29 matches across the two white-ball formats.

She was particularly effective in ODIs, taking 18 wickets at an average of just 14.88, of which eight came in two appearances against England and then seven against Sri Lanka. She also took 22 wickets in T20Is as well.
