India all-rounder Deepti Sharma earned her nomination after a prolific series against Zimbabwe. The 29-year-old recorded her second ODI century in Vadodara, where she also claimed three wickets to lead India to a 121-run victory and a series win.

Deepti's contributions extended to the T20I format, where she struck a rapid 49 in the series opener in Raipur. Her consistent ability to impact games with both bat and ball throughout the month proved central to India's successful campaign against the African side.

Bangladesh batter Sobhana Mostary is also in contention after making history during the tour of Australia. Mostary scored 118 runs from 134 deliveries in Brisbane, setting a new record for the highest individual ODI score by a Bangladesh women's player.

Despite the series result, Mostary's performance was a highlight of the tour, as she accumulated 129 runs at an average of 43 across three ODIs. Her innings featured 18 boundaries, demonstrating her ability to perform against a high-quality bowling attack.

Australia's Annabel Sutherland completes the shortlist following a dominant month against both Bangladesh and New Zealand. The 25-year-old all-rounder delivered a standout performance in the ODI series opener against Bangladesh, taking four wickets and scoring an unbeaten 25.

Sutherland continued her form in the series finale with an unbeaten 74 and two wickets. She also contributed in the T20I series against New Zealand, concluding a productive month with a total of 99 runs and six wickets in the 50-over format.

The ICC will determine the winner based on voting, with the award recognizing the most impactful performances on the international stage. These players have set a high benchmark for their respective teams heading into the upcoming international schedule.

For Pakistan, the recognition of these players serves as a reminder of the competitive standards in women's cricket. As Pakistan continues to develop its squad, monitoring the form of global stars like Deepti and Sutherland remains essential for tactical planning in future bilateral series.

Minhas was instrumental in Pakistan's victory during their home ODI tri-series, where he claimed the Player of the Series award. The all-rounder accumulated 149 runs at a strike rate of 119.20 and took nine wickets throughout the tournament.

His standout display came against England, where he scored 59 runs and recorded figures of 6/40. This performance marked the second-best bowling figures by a Pakistani player in an ODI on home soil.

In the final against Sri Lanka, Minhas played a decisive role, striking 61 off just 31 deliveries to help his side successfully chase down a target of 326. His aggressive batting ensured Pakistan lifted the trophy in front of home supporters.

South Africa's Marco Jansen was nominated following his series-defining contributions against Australia in the ICC World Test Championship. Jansen scored 85 and took six wickets in the second Test, later rising to the top of the ICC Men's Test All-Rounder Rankings.

West Indies batter Shai Hope rounds out the nominees after a prolific month against India. Hope scored an unbeaten 162 in an ODI run chase and registered two centuries during the five-match T20I series, maintaining a strike rate of 190.51.

The nomination of Minhas highlights the growing depth of talent in the Pakistan squad as they continue to compete at the highest level of international cricket. His ability to contribute significantly with both bat and ball remains vital for Pakistan's success in limited-overs formats.

Fans can now cast their votes for the winner on the official ICC website. The recipient of the award will be determined by a combination of public voting and the deliberations of the ICC voting academy.
