Deepti Sharma wins second ICC Women’s Player of the Month award

India all-rounder Deepti Sharma won the ICC Women’s Player of the Month award for October.

It is the second time she has received the honour.

The 29-year-old earned it for her performances in India’s six-match home series against Zimbabwe, played in October.

She scored 155 runs and took seven wickets as India went unbeaten across all six matches.

Her month included a quick 49 in the opening T20I and an unbeaten century with three wickets in the second ODI.

The award recognises her contribution with both bat and ball, and she beat Bangladesh’s Sobhana Mostary and Australia’s Annabel Sutherland.

The award adds to her earlier win in December 2023.
