By IANS News August 12, 2024 • 15:36 PM View: 988

ICC Players: England’s pacer Gus Atkinson and Sri Lanka’s captain Chamari Athapaththu have been named winners of the ICC Players of the Month awards in men’s and women’s categories respectively for July 2024.

Atkinson overcame challenges from Scotland’s Charlie Cassell and India’s Washington Sundar to claim the honour and becomes the first winner of the ICC Men’s Player of the Month award from England since Chris Woakes won in July 2023.

The right-arm fast-bowler enjoyed a fruitful start to his international career in the longest format, spearheading England’s bowling attack as they swept the West Indies 3-0 in the Test series. He entered the Test team in the opening game at Lord’s, which was also the farewell game of the veteran James Anderson.
