ICC Women’s Player of the Month nominees for September announced
An experienced England batter, a teenager from Ireland and a UAE all-rounder have been nominated for the ICC Women’s Player of the Month award for September.
Tammy Beaumont (England)
The right-hander showed she is still a force in international cricket with a group of excellent knocks during England's white-ball tour of Ireland.
Beaumont totalled 212 runs at an average of 106 to help England register a 2-1 series triumph and backed that up with another 67 runs from two innings in the two-match T20I series that followed.
The highlight for the month came in the second ODI contest, when Beaumont smashed 150 from just 139 deliveries in a Player of the Match performance that guided England to victory.

The UAE all-rounder enjoyed an excellent month of September as she made strong contributions with bat and ball to help her side to win the tri-series against Namibia and Zimbabwe.
Oza’s best effort with the bat came against Zimbabwe when the 26-year-old smashed 84 from just 65 deliveries as the UAE registered a narrow five-wicket triumph courtesy of a boundary from Kavisha Egodage on the final ball of the contest.
The UAE star also hit 42 and claimed three wickets with the ball with her off spin in the preceding match against Namibia, finishing the series with a total of 209 runs at an average of 34.83 and eight wickets at an average of 14.50.
