Two South Africans have earned selection for the ICC ODI Team of the Year for 2021.

They are Janneman Malan and Rassie van der Dussen.

Malan established himself as a vital part of the South African top order in 2021, scoring 509 runs in eight matches at an average of 84.83 with two centuries and two half-centuries.

Be it in home or away conditions, Malan maintained his consistency throughout the year, having made his ODI debut only a year before.

Van der Dussen continued to be a rock for the Proteas in the 50-over format.

He scored his second ODI hundred (129*) against India on Wednesday.
