Its that time of year again, which means that voting has opened for the Peoples Player of the Year, Last year, it was an accolade which was won by Nepalese captain Paras Khadka by a margin of 243 votes from Nawroz Mangal, after around 30,000 of you cast your votes.
For the Associates as a whole, this year has been one of startling highs and crippling lows, of victories on the field and losses in the boardroom. The World Twenty20 in March and April made history by being the first global tournament to see three different Full Members defeated by three different Associates. The Netherlands in particular exceeded expectations by reaching the Super 10 stage and defeating England once they got there.
Nepal's Shakti Gauchan is the first nominee this year. His canny left-arm spin has previously earned him a place at a Rajasthan Royals training camp. This year, his performances in his country's first three T20 International victories showed exactly why: figures of 4-0-9-3, 3-0-25-2 and 4-0-10-2 demonstrate his ability to dismiss good batsmen. He also added ten wickets in the WCL, five in the Asian Games and seven in the Asian Premier League to an impressive 2014 tally.
Sompal Kami is the second Nepalese player and the second teenager to make the list of nominees. He showed pace and promise at the World Twenty20, despite being overshadowed by Jitendra Mukhiya, but it is in the last six weeks that he has really come into his own. He claimed 18 wickets at 10.06 against Sri Lankan opposition in November before slogging a match-defining 40 against Hong Kong in Colombo on a truly horrendous batting track.
Since then, though, there has been a dearth of significant fixtures for Associates - a dearth which looks set to continue with the World Cup being scaled back to only ten teams. Anyhow, without further ado, here are the ten nominees
