The winners of the ICC Player of the Month awards for November 2022 were revealed by the International Cricket Council (ICC).
Jos Buttler, the captain of England, is named the ICC Men's Player of the Month after leading his team to a T20 World Cup victory in Australia last month. Sidra Ameen, Pakistan's opening batter, is named the ICC Women's Player of the Month after scoring enormous totals in the recent successful ODI series against Ireland at home.
ICC Men's Player of the Month (November 2022) : Jos Buttler
Last month, England's victorious captain Buttler confirmed his status as one of the game's most intimidating batters. A Player of the Match performance in Brisbane's thrilling 20-run triumph over New Zealand marked the beginning of November. The opener, who was playing in his 100th T20I, scored 73 runs off of just 47 balls to give England's campaign some much-needed momentum.
He then put on what is likely his performance of the competition after England had assured their passage to the knockout rounds. He displayed the entire range of his strokeplay by hammering 80 from 49 balls in the semi-final against India as he was attempting to reach the winning score of 169. In Adelaide, he and Alex Hales shared a record-breaking opening partnership of 170 that helped the team win by 10 wickets.
Although Buttler's performance in the Final fell short of his usual standards, he still scored a significant 26 runs against a dangerous Pakistan bowling outfit. Then, with his skillful leadership as captain, he led the team's efforts on the field, causing Pakistan to lose, and bringing home England's second T20 World Cup championship.
Buttler receives the award from a group that also included colleague and fellow World Cup winner Adil Rashid and Pakistan fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi. Both players had major on-field contributions that helped their teams get to the grand final of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup in Australia.
ICC Women's Player of the Month (November 2022) : Sidra Ameen
Sidra Ameen wins the ICC Women's Player of the Month title after dominating Ireland in the ODI series in November. She is Pakistan's second consecutive winner of the honor after Nida Dar did so in October.
Ameen opened the month with her greatest ODI performance, a magnificent 176 not out, as the hosts earned a convincing 128-run victory in the first game. Ameen amassed 277 runs during the series and was only dismissed once. Ameen made another unbroken score of 91 from 93 balls in the second ODI, this time to help Ireland chase down the target and win by nine wickets, leaving Ireland's bowlers helpless to stop her.
Ameen won the Player of the Series award despite ultimately losing her wicket in the third ODI, capping up a spectacular series and a strong run of performances in 2022.
Ameen won the ICC Women's Player of the Month title for the first time, besting Ireland's Gaby Lewis and Thailand's Natthakan Chantham, both of whom scored a ton of runs throughout the month in their respective tournaments. ICC keeps on recognizing best of best player every month , would Ameen and Buttler continue the title?
