ICC announces Player of the Month nominees for November 2022

The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Tuesday announced its Player of the Month nominees for November amongst the full-time and associate member playing nations. Nominees for both, Men’s and Women’s Cricket have been announced and the results will be declared after a deliberate voting process. While England dominated the nominees in men’s cricket, it was interesting to find out the associate member nominees in women’s cricket.

England’s World Cup-winning skipper Jos Buttler is undisputedly the strongest contender in the fray after an impressive performance in the championship to take his side through and lift the title for the second time. Alongside Buttler, his leg-spinning counterpart Adil Rashid has also been nominated after his stunning performance in the concluding stages of the World Cup. Pakistani paceman Shaheen Shah Afridi has also reserved a spot after his breathtaking bowling display to emerge as the contingent’s leading wicket-taker at the marquee event.

In Women’s cricket, we witnessed maiden nominations for all three athletes. Pakistan’s Sidra Ameen has stormed into the fray for the first time after a decisive performance against Ireland. On the other end, Ireland’s Gaby Lewis was also named for her heroics in batting against Pakistan. Thailand’s Nattankan Chantnam has also been included after her marvelous stint against the Netherlands.
