Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan is among the three male cricketers who received nomination for ICC Player of the Month for October.
The other two cricketers are Asif Ali from Pakistan and David Wise from Namibia.
An independent ICC Voting Academy and fans around the world can now vote to decide the winners, which will be announced next week.
In October, Shakib played six T20Is as part of the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 in UAE and Oman. He scored a total of 131 runs with a strike rate of 109.16 and took a total of 11 wickets with an economy rate of 5.59.
Shakib had two spectacular all round matches at the tournament last month, scoring 42 and taking three wickets against Oman before striking 46 and taking four wickets against Papua New Guinea. This is his second nomination in the year.
Pakistan’s power hitter and finisher Asif Ali played three T20Is last month also in the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World 2021 where he scored a total of 52 runs with a strike rate of 273.68.
His breakthrough performance was when he scored 27 out of just 12 balls to help defeat New Zealand. He went on to also hit four sixes in the next game against Afghanistan in the nineteenth over and sealed a victory against them.
Namibian veteran all-rounder David Weise has had a spectacular ICC Men’s T20 World Cup so far. He played eight T20Is where he scored a total of 162 runs with a strike rate of 132.78 and took seven wickets with an economy rate of 7.23. David’s match winning performance helped Namibia qualify for the Super 12s stage of the tournament where he scored a 66 not-out against the Netherlands and 28 not-out against Ireland, while also contributing with the ball.
Gaby Lewis (Ireland), Mary-Anne Musonda (Zimbabwe) and Laura Delany (Ireland) received nominations for ICC Women’s Player of the Month for October.
