Competing against notable players such as Travis Head (Australia), Babar Azam (Pakistan), and Sikandar Raza (Zimbabwe), Arshdeep secured this prestigious award for his exceptional performance throughout the year.
In 2024, Arshdeep Singh delivered a stellar performance, featuring in 18 matches and claiming an impressive 36 wickets.
