We are at an interesting stage with our poll.
The current trio of Williamson, Kohli and Root are featuring more strongly while other players ranked highly in 2022 are slipping back. We had 16 nominations this round with two players not ranked in the 2022 Top 50.

29 - Younis Khan; 27 - C.Walcott; 24 - K.Williamson; 21 - V.Kohli; 19 - J.Root; 6 - G.Smith, Harvey; 5 - A.B. de Villiers; 4 - Compton;
3 - Worrell, Trumper, Gilchrist; 2 - Greenidge, Aravinda de Silva; 1 - Boycott, M.Waugh.

Younis and Walcott retain their 2022 rankings but Williamson rockets up 12 spots. This is no doubt due to his improving his average by 1.52 through some impressive innings over the past 2 years.

Voting is now open for positions 28-30
