NEW YORK, United States. West Indies all-rounder Justin Greaves has been nominated for the ICC Men’s Player of the Month award for July, alongside England’s Harry Brook and Bangladesh’s Tanzid Hasan.
The 32-year-old Barbadian was named Player of the Series in both Test series, against Sri Lanka and Pakistan.
A strong month
He scored 180 against Sri Lanka and delivered a match-winning bowling performance against Pakistan, taking five for 27 in the first innings and two for 12 in the second to guide the West Indies to victory in the first Test.
Greaves finished July with 215 runs at an average of 71.66 and eight wickets at 10.25 from two Tests.
He also scored 32 runs in two ODIs at a strike rate of 114.28.
The rivals
Brook was instrumental in England’s white-ball success against India, scoring 229 runs in five T20 internationals at an average of 114.50 and a strike rate of 214.01. Despite scoring only 31 runs in three ODIs, he was named Player of the Series as leading run-scorer.
Hasan, Bangladesh’s opening batsman, was one of his country’s most consistent batters against Zimbabwe and finished the month as leading run-scorer across both formats.
He scored 159 runs in three ODIs at an average of 53.00, then added 140 runs in the T20 internationals at an average of 70.00.
