ICC Women: England duo of Sophia Dunkley, Sophie Ecclestone and Ireland captain Gaby Lewis have been nominated for ICC Women’s Player of the Month award for July 2025.

Sophia delivered consistent runs for England through back-to-back white-ball series against India at home in July. After a rare failure in the second T20I in Bristol, the right-handed batter struck a fluent 75 at The Oval to set up a five-run win for England.

She followed with scores of 22 and 46 to finish as England’s leading run-scorer in the T20I series, which India won 3-2. Sophia carried her good form into the ODIs, hitting 83 in the series opener at Southampton. She was dismissed only twice while compiling 126 runs across the three ODI matches.

Meanwhile, left-arm spinner Sophie claimed four wickets in as many T20Is during England’s home series against India, playing key roles in two victories for the hosts’. She took two wickets and held her nerve with the bat in a last-ball finish to earn England a consolation win in the fifth T20I in Birmingham.

With the bat, the right-hander scored 65 runs in the format in July, including a career-best 35. Sophie also starred in England’s only ODI series win at Lord’s, taking 3-27 to help dismiss India for 147 and set up an eight-wicket victory under the DLS method.
