Capricorn women

International Cricket Council: Travis Head along with Sri Lanka duo Prabath Jayasuriya and Kamindu Mendis are nominated for the ICC Men’s Player of the Month for September while Tammy Beaumont, Aimee Maguire and Esha Oza are shortlisted for the women's accolade, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced on Monday.

Head aims to win his second ICC Men’s Player of the Month award after scoring 430 runs and scalping six wickets in short format series in Scotland and England in September. The 30-year-old, having previously won in November 2023, began the month blasting 80 from 25 balls as Australia blew Scotland away in the first of three T20Is in Edinburgh.

Two subdued performances followed, before returning to form as they crossed the border. Scores of 59 and 31 in T20Is were followed by strong performances in the ODI format, with Head claiming the Player of the Series accolade thanks to an unbeaten 154 and two wickets in Nottingham, and four wickets in the decisive victory in Bristol.
