    What's the story

    England's swashbuckling batter Harry Brook and Australia Women all-rounder Ashleigh Gardner have won the ICC Player of the Month award for February.

    Brook won the accolade by beating Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and West Indies spinner Gudakesh Motie, who were also nominated.

    Whereas Gardner prevailed over England's Natalie Sciver-Brunt and South Africa's Laura Wolvaardt as they were the nominees for the women's category.

    Context

    Why does this story matter?

    The ICC acknowledges brilliant performances every month in men's and women's categories internationally, and therefore, those players are nominated. Eventually, one of them is picked as the winner for that particular month.

    They have been handing out these monthly awards since the start of 2021.

    Renowned journalists and former cricketers form the voting panel.

    Meanwhile, the public has 10% voting rights.

    He finished the Test series as the highest run-getter, amassing 329 runs at 82.25.

    Astonishingly, his strike rate in the series was 110.40.
