- India batter Shubman Gill was named ICC Men’s Player of the Month for January following a series of impressive innings in the ODI format, while England U-19 skipper Grace Scrivens became the youngest player to be named for the women’s honour.
- The awards were decided in a global vote conducted among media representatives, ICC Hall of Famers, former international players, and fans registered at the ICC website.
- Scrivens bagged the award after her all-round brilliance in the inaugural ICC U-19 Women’s T20 World Cup.
- Equally, the England captain excelled in her leadership role, guiding her side to the final, only to lose to eventual title winners India.
- Captaining her side in seven outings, the 19-year-old enjoyed plenty of success in the middle, scoring 293 runs at an average of 41.85 which included three successive half-centuries in victories over Rwanda, Ireland and the West Indies.
