Bangladesh opener Tanzid Hasan Tamim has earned a nomination for the ICC Player of the Month award for July, marking the first time in his career to be considered for this honor. Competing against England’s Harry Brook and West Indies’ Justin Greaves, Tanzid’s nomination stems from his standout performance during Bangladesh’s tour of Zimbabwe.
How Did Tanzid Perform in the Zimbabwe Tour?
Despite Bangladesh’s poor overall performance in the Zimbabwe series, Tanzid Hasan Tamim’s form was exceptional. In the ODI series in Harare, he scored 159 runs across three matches, averaging 53.00 with a strike rate of 89.83. He continued his form in the T20I series in Bulawayo, adding 140 more runs, averaging 70.00 and striking at 127.27. His consistent performance made him the leading run-scorer for both white-ball series, helping Bangladesh recover from early losses to win the T20I series 2-1.
Who Are Tanzid’s Competitors for the Award?
Tanzid Hasan Tamim will compete against England’s Harry Brook and West Indies’ Justin Greaves for the ICC Player of the Month award. Brook led England’s successful home series against India, particularly excelling in the T20 format and being named Player of the Series. Greaves, on the other hand, showcased all-round brilliance in home Tests against Sri Lanka and Pakistan, contributing significantly to the West Indies' victories.
