His stellar performances have positioned him as a frontrunner for the ICC Player of the Month award. However, he faces tough competition from other standout players like Ollie Pope, whose magnificent innings of 196 runs against India in the Hyderabad Test propelled England to victory. Additionally, Australia's Josh Hazlewood has emerged as a formidable contender, showcasing exceptional bowling prowess in January, claiming a remarkable 19 wickets at an astonishing average of 11.63.
Hazlewood's stellar performance, particularly in the Sydney Test against Pakistan and the first two innings of the Test against the West Indies, has earned him recognition. However, despite his remarkable achievements, Hazlewood finds himself overshadowed by the remarkable emergence of Shamar Joseph.
The cricketing world eagerly awaits the announcement to see if Shamar Joseph will clinch the coveted ICC Player of the Month award for January, surpassing his competitors and etching his name in cricketing history.
