Sobhana named ICC Women's Player of the Month for January
Bangladesh batter Sobhana Mostary was named ICC Women's Player of the Month for January following her outstanding performance in the recently concluded ICC Women's T20 World Cup Global Qualifiers.
"Sobhana Mostary's stunning performance in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup Global Qualifier has earned her the ICC Women's Player of the Month for January 2026," the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced on its website today.
The star batter was nominated alongside Ireland captain Gaby Lewis and American left-arm pacer Tara Norris.
At the Global Qualifier last month, Sobhana scored 229 runs in the first six matches at an average of 45.80 and a strike rate of 145.85. She was instrumental in Bangladesh finishing the tournament unbeaten.
Bangladesh secured their spot for the marquee event in June and July with a 39-run win over Thailand, in which Mostary scored her tournament high of 59 and was adjudged Player of the Match. She then scored 47 against Scotland in another brilliant innings, reports BSS.
