Wisden, which is also known as the bible of cricket, has revealed the list of the most valuable players (MVP) of the ongoing century in their monthly edition 33, published in July. “It's an immense honour for me to be on this prestigious list of outstanding cricketers and represent my country. In a statement on Saturday, State Minister for Youth and Sports Zahid Ahsan Russell congratulated Shakib for being selected as second most valuable player of the century in ODI cricket by Wisden. Wisden has selected the ‘Most Valuable Players’ (MVP) in a joint study with cricket statistics organisation Cricviz and the MVP selection is decided on the equivalent of how much a player contributed to the match. However, Wisden Cricket Monthly has said that they have not selected the ‘best’ players, but have found the most influential cricketers of the time.
