Updated on:

Mohammad Nawaz, Simon Harmer, and Taijul Islam are nominated for ICC Men’s Player of the Month. Nawaz excelled in Pakistan’s tri-series and Harmer dominated in South Africa’s Test series win.

(Web Desk) – Pakistan all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz is among a trio of standout performers nominated for the ICC Men’s Player of the Month award in November.

Nawaz enjoyed a superb all-round month across white-ball formats during Pakistan’s tri-series triumph over Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe at home.

He amassed 104 ODI runs at 52 with a strike rate of 114.28 while also taking four wickets.

In T20Is, the left-arm spinner added 52 runs and claimed an impressive 11 wickets at just 12.72.

His match-winning 3-17 in the final against Sri Lanka capped a standout campaign and secured his Player of the Series honour.

South African spinner Simon Harmer has also been nominated for the award. He was at the heart of their historic 2-0 Test series win over India, which was the Proteas’ first in the Asian country for 25 years.

Harmer claimed a staggering 17 wickets at an extraordinary average of 8.94 across the two Tests in Kolkata and Guwahati.

The 36-year-old took eight wickets in the opening Test and backed it with nine more in the second, which included a wizardry 6/37 as India fell by 408 runs to give the Proteas a series sweep.

His dominance throughout the series earned him the Player of the Series award for his 17 scalps with the ball.

Bangladesh’s left-arm spinner Taijul Islam continued his reputation as a reliable match-winner in home conditions as his side claimed both Tests against Ireland.
