Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>After a stellar 12-month period that’s seen him become a regular for the Proteas in Test cricket, all-rounder Marco Jansen was named the ICC Men’s Emerging Cricketer of the Year on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old won the award ahead of New Zealand’s Finn Allen, Arshdeep Singh of India and Afghanistan youngster Ibrahim Zadran.<\/p>\n

It has been an incredible rise for Jansen, who just over a year ago was yet to play for the national team.<\/p>\n

As the 2023 calendar kicked in, the 2.09-meter-tall left-armer had become an integral part of the national setup, where he has featured in 12 matches across all three formats.<\/p>\n

Jansen has made his mark in Test cricket, in particular, where he has played eight matches, taking 36 wickets.<\/p>\n

His wickets in the game’s longer format came at an impressive average of 19.02, with the lanky paceman bagging two four-wicket hauls and one five-for (5\/35), which came at the Oval in London during the Proteas’ tour to the country during August and September.<\/p>\n

He also recorded a maiden half-century (59) when South Africa faced Australia in Melbourne during their year-end tour. Overall with the bat, he accumulated 234 runs in his 13 innings over the past year.<\/p>\n

Following the news of the ICC accolade, Jansen acknowledged that his first international year superseded his expectations.<\/p>\n

“I am lost for words right now after what I think has been a dream year for me,” a delighted Jansen said.<\/p>\n

“Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined taking 36 wickets and playing eight Test matches for the Proteas in my first year of international cricket.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo to have achieved this feat, with the cherry on top of being named as the ICC Emerging Men’s Cricketer of the Year, is unbelievable. I am so grateful to everyone who made it possible for me to reach this point so early in my career.”<\/p>\n

Jansen is still finding his feet in the shorter format of the game and has represented South Africa in three ODIs and one T20 international.<\/p>\n

Despite his stellar rise, Jansen is keeping his feet firmly on the ground.\u201cWhatever sport you play, it is about longevity,” said Jansen.<\/p>\n

“I am still a rookie in international cricket, and these were only the first steps of my journey.<\/p>\n

“I don’t want to be remembered just by this award; I want to become the best and to get there a lot of hard work lies ahead.<\/p>\n

“I am also still developing, and hopefully, with hard work and dedication in the months and years ahead, I will be able to reach my full potential and become a great ambassador for South African cricket.<\/p>\n

“For now, I will enjoy the moment, but I look forward to building on my achievements of 2022 in 2023,” Jansen concluded.<\/p>\n
