Bangladesh
fast bowler Ebadot Hossain was predictably nominated for the ICC Player of the
Month award for his outstanding performance, which saw Bangladesh win their
first Test against New Zealand last month.
Ebadot
claimed six for 46 in the second innings of the first Test to script
Bangladesh’s eight-wicket win which was also Tigers' first-ever win on New
Zealand soil. Bangladesh later was beaten in the second Test to be satisfied
with a 1-1 draw in the series. But it was a landmark series for the Tigers as
the victory came at a moment when their Test performance took a massive
nosedive.
Under-19
future star Dewald Brevis from South Africa and Keegan Petersen from South
Africa also were nominated alongside Ebadot to be the best player for the month of
January.
ICC
however wrote about Ebadot: “Eleven Tests, 18 wickets and a career-best of 6
for 46, made Ebadot Hossain the newest sensation of Bangladesh cricket. The
27-year old’s maiden five-wicket haul helped Bangladesh inflict a huge historic
eight-wicket win over the ICC World Test champions New Zealand in the first
Test at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui last month. Ebadot Hossain came into the
Test match with 11 wickets in 10 games after making his international debut
against the Kiwis in 2019. In the first innings, Hossain picked just one wicket
for 75 runs but when the Kiwis batted for a second time, Ebadot Hossain delivered
his career-best performance, as the right-arm pacer dismissed Will Young, Henry
Nicholls and Tom Blundell within a space of 11 balls to put Bangladesh on top
at stumps on Day 4.”
From
Bangladesh earlier, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, Nasum Ahmed and female
cricketer Nahida Akter got nominated for the Player of the Month award. Amongst
them, Shakib and Mushfiqur finally won the prestigious award.
The
women’s category featured captain of the Sri Lankan T20I squad, Chamari
Athapaththu, West Indies all-rounder Deandra Dottin, and captain of the England
squad Heather Knight.
The
three nominees for either category are shortlisted based on performances from
the first to the last day of each calendar month. The shortlist is then voted
on by the independent ICC Voting Academy and fans around the world. The ICC
Voting Academy comprises prominent members of the cricket fraternity including
well-known journalists, former players, broadcasters, and members of the ICC
Hall of Fame.
The
Voting Academy submit their votes by email and hold a 90 per cent share of the
vote. Fans registered with the ICC vote via the ICC website, accounting for the
remaining 10 per cent. Winners are announced every second Monday of the month
on the ICC’s digital channels.
