One way is to destroy attacks with muscle and force and then there is the Babar Azam way, like conducting a batting symphony with punch, panache and flair, and he deserves to win this award.” Meanwhile, Australia's wicket-keeper batter Alyssa Healy was named the ICC Women’s Player of the Month for April. “Healy deserves to win the ICC Women’s Player of the Month - April as she added the runs at the top consistently and at a good tempo to help set up Australia's scoring in chases and target setting across all three games of their record-breaking series," the ICC voting academy said on Healy's performance.
