 ICC Announces Nominees for Men’s Player of Month for July

 

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has unveiled the nominees for the Men’s Player of the Month for July 2024. This month's shortlist features exceptional performances from Charlie Cassell of Scotland, Gus Atkinson of England, and Washington Sundar of India. Each player has delivered standout performances, making them worthy contenders for this prestigious award.

 

Charlie Cassell (Scotland)

 

Charlie Cassell's ODI debut against Oman in Dundee was nothing short of spectacular. The young Scottish pacer delivered an extraordinary performance, breaking a nine-year-old record with his bowling figures.

 

·         ODI Debut: Cassell took 7/21, surpassing Kagiso Rabada’s record of 6/16 for the best bowling figures on ODI debut.

·         Memorable Start: He took two wickets with his first two deliveries, dismissing Zeeshan Maqsood and Ayaan Khan, and by the 18th over, he had secured a five-wicket haul.

 

Cassell's figures of 7/21 bowled Oman out for just 91 runs, making his debut one of the most memorable in cricket history. His ability to make an immediate impact on such a significant stage speaks volumes about his potential and skill.

 

Gus Atkinson (England)

 

Gus Atkinson made an unforgettable Test debut at Lord’s, coinciding with James Anderson's farewell international match. The 26-year-old fast bowler immediately made his mark by claiming 12 wickets in the match, including five-wicket hauls in both innings.

 

·         First Innings: Atkinson's figures of 7/45 dismantled the West Indies batting lineup, restricting them to a mere 121 runs.

·         Second Innings: He continued his dominance with 5/61, leading England to a comprehensive innings victory by 114 runs.

 

For his outstanding performance, Atkinson was awarded Player of the Match. He didn't stop there, taking 10 more wickets in the remaining two Tests, including a four-wicket haul in the first innings of the final Test in Birmingham. His all-round contributions with the bat, scoring 21 not out in Nottingham and another 21 in Birmingham, further highlighted his versatility. Atkinson finished as the series' top wicket-taker with 22 dismissals and earned the Player of the Series accolade.

 

Washington Sundar (India)

 

Washington Sundar has overcome injuries and proven his worth in the Indian cricket team. Participating in a young Indian squad touring Zimbabwe for a five-match T20I series, Sundar emerged as the leading spin-bowling all-rounder.

 

·         First T20I: Despite India's loss, Sundar impressed with figures of 2/11 and a crucial 27 runs.

·         Series Comeback: Sundar played a key role in India’s turnaround from a 1-0 deficit to a 4-1 series victory, taking six more wickets in the next four matches.

 

He was named Player of the Match in the third T20I for his stellar 3/15 performance and was awarded the Player of the Series for his total of eight wickets. Sundar also shone in a thrilling Super Over against Sri Lanka, earning another Player of the Match award.

 

Our View on Who Should Win

 

All three nominees have delivered remarkable performances, but Charlie Cassell's record-breaking ODI debut stands out. Making such a significant impact in his first international match, breaking a long-standing record, and doing so with such dominant figures, highlights an extraordinary beginning to what promises to be an impressive career. Gus Atkinson's impressive debut and series performances, as well as Washington Sundar's consistent contributions, make strong cases, but Cassell’s feat in ODI cricket is truly historic and deserves recognition. Thus, I believe Charlie Cassell should win the ICC Men’s Player of the Month for July 2024.
