Pakistan spinner Noman Ali has been nominated for the International Cricket Council (ICC) Player of the Month Award for October 2025.
The international cricket body also nominated South African all-rounder Senuran Muthausamy and Afghanistan’s top spinner Rashid Khan for the same award.
The No. 3 ranked ICC Men’s Test bowler took 14 wickets at an average of 23.07, further cementing his reputation as one of the most consistent spinners in world cricket.
In the first Test in Lahore, Noman produced a match-winning spell, securing his third 10-wicket haul in Test cricket with figures of 6/112 and 4/79, leading Pakistan to a 93-run victory.
In the Rawalpindi Test, he remained effective with four wickets and also contributed 17 runs with the bat, finishing as the highest wicket-taker of the series.
Meanwhile, South Africa’s Senuran Muthusamy was outstanding in his side’s drawn Test series against Pakistan.
The 31-year-old all-rounder starred with both bat and ball, amassing 106 runs at an average of 53 and claiming 11 wickets at 18.36, which earned him the player of the series award.
His career-best 11/174 in Lahore and an unbeaten 89 in Rawalpindi were highlights of his performance.
Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan also enjoyed a superb month, excelling in both ODIs and T20Is against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe.
In five T20Is, he took nine wickets at an economy of just 4.82, including standout figures of 4/18 against Bangladesh and 3/9 against Zimbabwe.
In the ODIs, Rashid’s brilliance helped Afghanistan secure a 3-0 series win over Bangladesh as he took 11 wickets at an economy rate of 2.73, with a best of 5/17 in the second match.
It also topped off the order with easy-to-use ranges, rounding off a great month.
