Shanto’s Nominated for ICC Player of the Month
Bangladesh’s talented batsman, Nazmul Hossain Shanto, has recently been recognized for his outstanding performances and has been nominated for the prestigious International Cricket Council (ICC) Men’s Player of the Month award for May 2023. The ICC, in a media release on Tuesday, unveiled Shanto as a strong contender for the award, alongside Babar Azam, the captain of Pakistan’s cricket team and the current holder of the esteemed Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy, which is bestowed upon the Men’s Cricketer of the Year. Another notable candidate in the running is Ireland’s Harry Tector, who showcased his exceptional skills against Bangladesh, despite being on the losing side.
This is the first time that the left-handed batter, Nazmul Hossain Shanto, has been shortlisted for such a prestigious award. His nomination is well-deserved, considering his remarkable run-scoring spree during Bangladesh’s series against Ireland. The contest between the two teams took place as part of the ICC Super League, and Shanto’s consistent performances helped his side secure an impressive 2-0 sweep over their opponents. Throughout the series, Shanto amassed a total of 196 runs, showcasing his exceptional batting skills and contributing significantly to his team’s victories.
Shanto’s standout performance came in the second match of the series, which will be remembered as one of the most thrilling encounters in recent memory. After a slow start and a challenging target of 320 runs set by Ireland, Shanto played a pivotal role in guiding Bangladesh to an improbable victory. He exhibited remarkable composure and skill, scoring a brilliant 117 runs off just 93 balls. His knock included an array of exquisite shots and displayed his ability to handle pressure situations. Shanto’s exceptional innings propelled Bangladesh to chase down the target in the final over of the match, leaving spectators in awe of his batting prowess.
The ICC Men’s Player of the Month award nominees are selected based on their performances throughout the entire calendar month. The shortlist is then presented to the independent ICC Voting Academy, which comprises prominent members of the cricket fraternity, including renowned journalists, former players, broadcasters, and distinguished members of the ICC Hall of Fame. These esteemed individuals contribute to the voting process, accounting for 90% of the total vote. The remaining 10% is determined through the participation of fans who are registered with the ICC. They can cast their votes via the ICC website, making their voices heard in the selection of the award recipient.
The announcement of the winners is eagerly anticipated by cricket enthusiasts around the world. Every second Monday of the month, the ICC unveils the deserving recipient of the Men’s Player of the Month award on their digital channels. It is an exciting moment for the cricketing community, as they gather to celebrate the exceptional talents and performances that have graced the sport over the preceding month.
