South Africa's Dewald Brevis was announced as the Player of the Tournament for the ICC Under 19 Men's Cricket World Cup 2022 in the West Indies for his record-breaking run haul.
"The side was pulled together by a selection panel including commentators Samuel Badree, Natalie Germanos, ICC Match Referee Graeme Labrooy, and journalist Sandipan Banerjee," stated an official release.
