Player of the Month


Each month the editor of CricInfo Interactive chooses a player worthy of mention for his or her achievements during the previous month as the CricInfo googler's Player of the Month.

Note that title - Player of the month - it is not necessarily "Best player of the month", nor need it be "International player of the month", it is "Player of the month". This player could be an achiever in the Test, one-day international, or domestic scene, male or female, anywhere in the world. We hope that this will become as prestigious as Wisden's Five Cricketers Of The Year, and maybe when CricInfo reaches its 135th year, we will :-J. But unlike Wisden, our winners can come back and win again and again...

Not everyone can win Player of the Month, and not everyone deserves to be Player of the Month. Read about the runners-up and the also-rans in the Good, the Bad and the Ugly for each month.

Finally, please remember one thing: cricket is a team sport.
