Akhter, de Klerk, Wyatt-Hodge nominated for ICC Women’s Player of the Month award

New Delhi: Bangladesh batter Sharmin Akhter, South Africa all-rounder Nadine de Klerk and England opener Danni Wyatt-Hodge have been nominated for ICC Women’s Player of the Month award for November 2024.

 Right-handed batter Sharmin celebrates her first nomination of the monthly honour and a win would see her emulate compatriot Nahida Akter as the only other Bangladesh women’s player to win the award since its inception. Sharmin, 28, enjoyed a splendid start to the ODI series against Ireland, with two excellent performances. She hit a career-high score of 96 in a dominant Player of the Match display in the first game in which the home side recorded a convincing 154-run win. She continued where she left off in the second match, striking 43 to set up a five-wicket victory in Mirpur.

On the other hand, despite a humbling 3-0 series loss for South Africa at the hands of England on home soil, Nadine was in fine form by topping her side’s list of run-scorers and wicket-takers. IANS
