Washington Sundar
The ICC has announced the nominations for the ICC Player of the Month award for the month of July. The ICC has nominated India’s Washington Sundar along with England’s Gus Atkinson and Scotland’s Charlie Cassell for the Player of the Month award. Washington was part of the Indian team that toured Zimbabwe. For the last several years, he has been playing the role of an all-rounder in the Indian team on tours of smaller teams. After struggling with injuries for some time, Sundar has finally established himself in international cricket. After the T20 World Cup win, when the regular players were given rest, the 24-year-old Sundar got a place in the team and he did not let go of this opportunity.
English bowler also got nomination
England’s Gus Atkinson’s Test debut was amazing. In James Anderson’s farewell match, Atkinson created history by wreaking havoc with the ball. He took 12 wickets in his very first Test and got his name registered in the record books. He took five or more wickets in both innings. He demolished the West Indies batting order and took seven wickets for 45 runs in the first innings, due to which the visiting team was reduced to just 121 runs. This 26-year-old player also took five wickets for 61 runs in the second innings, due to which England won by an innings and 114 runs.
Amazing performance of Scotland bowler
Apart from Gus Atkinson, Scotland’s Charlie Casson’s debut in July was excellent. In his ODI debut against Oman, Charlie took 7 wickets for 21 runs and broke Kagiso Rabada’s 9-year-old record. Rabada took 6 wickets for 16 runs in his debut ODI match. Charlie did a great feat of taking 2 wickets on the first 2 balls of his ODI career. He sent Oman’s Zeeshan Maqsood and Ayan Khan to the pavilion. This performance of Charlie is not only the best bowling record in ODI debut but also the 7th best bowling performance in 50 overs.
