Jadeja returned to International cricket in the Border Gavaskar series against Australia. He picked 7 wickets in the first test before scalping 10 in the second game. Jadeja also picked 4 more wickets in the third test. In all three matches, he scored 107 runs across four innings. Jadeja was adjudged as player of the match on both the first two matches.

England's Harry Brook has been on song in Test cricket. He smashed quick-fire fifties in both innings of the first test against New Zealand. Brook registered his career-best 186 from



176 balls in the second test as England and New Zealand played a mouthwatering series. Brook was also named the Player of the series. He has also won the Player of the month award in December 2022.

Notably, the West Indies spinner Gudakesh Motie has made a brilliant start to his test career. The Guyana player has picked 19 wickets in the two test matches against Zimbabwe. He picked 6 wickets in the first test which ended as a draw, before collecting 13 wickets in the second victorious match against Zimbabwe.

Also, ICC has revealed the nominees for the Player of the month award in the women's category.
