    What's the story

    The International Cricket Council (ICC) has named Zimbabwe all-rounder Sikandar Raza as the Player of the Month for August 2022.

    Raza claims the accolade after scoring three centuries in ODI cricket last month.

    He beat New Zealand's Mitchell Santner and England's Ben Stokes to win the award.

    Among women, Tahlia McGrath has been rewarded for her match-winning performances at the Commonwealth Games (CWG).

    Award

    First Zimbabwe player to receive ICC POTM award

    Raza has become the first Zimbabwe player to receive the ICC POTM award.

    "I'm incredibly honored to have won the Player of the Month award from the ICC," he said in a statement.

    "I would like to thank everybody who has been with me over the past three to four months - that goes out to the technical staff and to the players."

    Raza nearly powered Zimbabwe to what could have been an incredible victory against India in the third ODI at the Harare Sports Club.

    Although the 36-year-old registered a magnificent century (115), the hosts fell short to chase the 290-run target.

    Raza has been in sublime form in 2022, having already registered five 50+ scores in ODI cricket.

    In the series opener, Zimbabwe registered the highest successful run-chase against Bangladesh in ODIs, riding on Raza's century.
