The International Cricket Council (ICC) has revealed the nominations for the ICC Player of the Month awards for September, featuring top performers across men’s and women’s international cricket.
In the men’s category, India secured two nominations with rising star Abhishek Sharma and star spinner Kuldeep Yadav making the shortlist, alongside Zimbabwe’s Brian Bennett, details confirmed on Tuesday.
The women’s category features India’s prolific opener Smriti Mandhana, South Africa’s Tazmin Brits, and Pakistan’s veteran batter Sidra Amin.
Sidra Amin earned her nomination following a magnificent run of form during the ODI series against South Africa in September. She finished the series as the top run-scorer, amassing 293 runs across three matches. Her tally included an exceptional two centuries and one half-century, making her a formidable contender for the award.
The ICC Player of the Month award recognises the best performances in international cricket across both men’s and women’s categories throughout a calendar month, with winners decided by a combination of fan votes and an independent voting academy.
