Test bowler

ICC World Test Championship: Three spinners - Rashid Khan, Noman Ali and Senuran Muthusamy - have been nominated for the ICC Men’s Player of the Month award for October.

Left-arm spinners Noman of Pakistan and Muthusamy of South Africa have been shortlisted after helping win a match each for their respective teams in the two-match ICC World Test Championship series in Pakistan that ended in a 1-1 draw. Leg-spinner Rashid makes it based on performances in white-ball cricket.

The Afghan supremo was in sensational form across October, starring in limited-overs series against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe.
