DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – West Indies’ exciting young pace sensation, Jayden Seales, has been rewarded for a devastating bowling display by earning a nomination for the ICC Men’s Player of the Month award for August.
The 23-year-old Trinidadian finds himself in elite company, shortlisted alongside New Zealand’s Matt Henry and India’s Mohammed Siraj for the prestigious monthly honour.
Seales’s nomination comes on the back of a Player of the Series performance in the recent three-match ODI series against Pakistan on home soil.
The fiery pacer was the undisputed standout, finishing as the leading wicket-taker with a total of 10 scalps.
The highlight of his remarkable month was a breathtaking, career-best spell of six wickets for just 18 runs in the series finale.
His demolition job powered the West Indies to a colossal 202-run victory, sealing their first ODI series win against Pakistan in over three decades, since 1991.
The ICC Player of the Month awards recognise the best performances from both men and women across all forms of international cricket throughout the calendar month.
The shortlist is compiled by the ICC, after which the winner is decided by a combined vote from an independent ICC Voting Academy, which includes West Indies past players Daren Ganga and Stacy Ann King, and cricket fans worldwide.
