ISLAMABAD: Pakistani Skipper and prolific batter Babar Azam has been included in the International Cricket Council (ICC) candidates for the Men’s and Women’s Player of the Month Awards for May.
A competitive month of men’s international matches saw the conclusion of fixtures in the ICC Super League, thus confirming the full lineup of teams set to battle it out in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Qualifier in Zimbabwe later this month, said a press release issued here.
In women’s internationals, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh went head-to-head in May, along with a host of bilateral fixtures and the Southeast Asian Games in Cambodia which was won by Thailand.
The Men’s shortlist comprises three names that starred in the ODI format. Pakistan skipper and holder of the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy, Babar Azam was nominated for his performances at the latter end of his side’s series victory over New Zealand.
