50over format in the last one year didn39t figure in the ODI team announced here today ICC39s Chief Executive David Richardson said while Kohli was extremely unlucky to have missed out on in the LG ICC ODI Team of the year led by compatriot Dhoni but he should be making it next year quotKohli is one of the players who should consider himself unlucky not to get selected especially in the ODI team of the year In these awards it39s more a case of who gets left out rather than who gets in There39s tremendous competition for placesquot said Richardson after announcing the ICC39s Test and ODI teams of 2013 at a media conference here quotIt will be very surprising if Kohli does not make the team next yearquot he added While India skipper MS Dhoni left has been selected by ICC for both the ODI and

Teams of the year Those selected can be justifiably proud of their achievements and are thoroughly deserving of the recognition they receivequot said Richardson quotIt is always tough to decide on the Test and ODI teams of the year with so many worthy candidates to consider based on the players39 performances between August 7 2012 and August 25 2013quot said Kumble chairman of the awards selection panel quotThe selection panel had a lengthy debate on all the top performers during the performance period and a number of combinations were consideredquot he said quotThe selectors did utilise a vast amount of statistics from the period under observation but we also took into account other factors like the opposition pitch conditions match situation and the like But when you have only 12 places to fill from a big group of worldclass players there will always be a few who will miss out quotIn the panel39s expert opinion it has selected the best Test and ODI Teams based on performances over the past 12 monthsquot he added Kumble was joined on the panel by former Pakistan fast bowler and captain Waqar Younis former England captain and wicketkeeper Alec Stewart former South Africa batsman
