ICC Women’s Player of the Month, February 2023: Ashleigh Gardner

Following a string of brilliant performances that helped Australia successfully defend their Women’s T20 World Cup title in South Africa, Ashleigh Gardner is named the ICC Women’s Player of the Month for February. She continued to solidify her position as the top-ranked T20I all-rounder in the MRF Tyres ICC Women’s Player Rankings by taking consistent wickets and contributing with significant runs throughout the match, and she eventually capped a fruitful campaign with the Player of the Tournament award.

Gardner defeats Nat Sciver of England and Laura Wolvaardt of South Africa, both of whom were nominated for outstanding performances and two other ICC Women’s T20 World Cup stars, to win the award.

ICC Men’s Player of the Month, February 2023: Harry Brook

Brook wins his second award as the ICC Men’s Player of the Month after once again showcasing his burgeoning reputation in international cricket. The prolific hitter has excelled across all formats, and recent Test matches for a resurgent England have shown just how high his potential is. Brook’s quick and gutsy strokeplay was a feature, exciting spectators in a thrilling Test series, scoring big again in New Zealand last month.

In order to win his second ICC Men’s Player of the Month title, Brook defeated fellow nominees Ravindra Jadeja and Gudakesh Motie. He joins Pakistan’s Babar Azam, the 2022 ICC Men’s Cricketer of the Year, as the only players to receive the honour twice.
