There were no West Indies players selected to the International Cricket Council (ICC) Test and one-day teams-of-the-year, announced by the world governing body today.

India batting star Virat Kohli was named captain of the Test side and was accompanied in the line-up by the likes of Australian run machine, Steve Smith, young South African speedster Kagiso Rabada and controversial England all-rounder Ben Stokes.

The right-handed Kohli was also named as captain of the One-Day International (ODI) side which includes Pakistan batsman Babar Azam, South Africa star AB de Villiers and Afghanistan leg-spinner Rashid Khan.

Kohli also captured the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy after being voted men’s Cricketer-of-the-Year. He amassed 2, 203 Test runs at an average of 77.80 and 1, 818 ODI runs at an average of 82.63.

Windies players failed to feature in the ICC awards as they struggled in both Tests and ODIs over the last year.
