Justin Greaves nominated for ICC’s Men’s player of the month award  

West Indies all-rounder Justin Greaves has been nominated for the ICC’s Men’s player of the month award for December. 

This following his impressive performances in the three match test series against New Zealand, where he scored 283 runs at an average of 56.60 across all three games. 

The medium pacer’s most outstanding performance came in the first test at Christchurch, where he produced a match-saving unbeaten 202 in the fourth innings, which helped the West Indies secure a historic draw.

The 31 year old Barbadian who also took five wickets in the series, will be up against New Zealand fast bowler Jacob Duffy and Australia’s left-arm seamer Mitchell Starc for the award.

Duffy was the leading wicket-taker in the test series against the West Indies, claiming 23 wickets at a scintillating average of 15.43 in three matches, which helped New Zealand claim the series 2-love.

Meanwhile, Starc was instrumental during the ashes series in December, taking 16 wickets and scoring 139 runs in three tests.

He was player-of-the-match in the second ashes test, contributing 77 runs and taking eight wickets to set up Australia’s win.
