England pace bowler Gus Atkinson has been named as the ICC Men`s Player of the Month for July. He pushed his contenders Washington Sundar and Charlie Cassell down to win the award.
"It is a real privilege to win the ICC Player of the Month! The start to my Test career has been unbelievable, and I never imagined achieving this level of success in my first series with England. I am incredibly grateful to my teammates and the fantastic environment created by Baz (Brendon McCullum) and Stokesy (Ben Stokes)," Atkinson said as quoted by ICC.
