England captain Joe Root and Ireland star Eimear Richardson have been voted winners of the ICC Player of the Month for August.
Root scored 507 runs in three Tests against India in August. He scored three important centuries, including an unbeaten 180* at Lord’s, and the form propelled him to the top of the MRF Tyres ICC Test Rankings for batters.
In the women’s award, Richardson saw off tough competition from teammate Gaby Lewis and Thailand’s Nattaya Boochatham.
Richard put in a fine all-round display in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier last month, which led her to be named the Player of the Tournament.
