The International Cricket Council (ICC) has revealed three nominees for the Men’s Player of the Month award for July 2025. India’s impressive captain and two stylish all-rounders from England and South Africa have made it into the nominations after their exceptional performances in the longest format in July 2025.
Shubman Gill, from India, smashed 567 runs at an average of 94.50 in three Tests during India’s 2-2 drawn series in England. He smashed a record-breaking knock of 269 runs in the first innings of the second Edgbaston Test before cracking 150 in the second innings. His 430 runs across two innings is the second-highest tally, next only to Graham Gooch’s 456 runs.
Landing in the United Kingdom two months ago, in the absence of the two veterans, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, he had so much pressure on his shoulders. He displayed incredible consistency at number four, carrying the baton from the former captain Kohli, and showed stability and flair with extraordinary performance in the red-ball series.

The second nominee of the list is the South African all-rounder, Wiaan Mulder, who scored 531 runs across two matches at an astonishing average of 265.50, including a composed 147 in the second innings of the opening game at Bulawayo against Zimbabwe. He also picked up seven wickets at 15.28 with a four-wicket haul.
Mulder smashed 367 runs in the maiden outing as the captain of the Proteas, which is the highest individual score for the Rainbow Nation in Test history. The third and final nominee of the list is Ben Stokes, the England captain, who scored 251 runs in July 2025 at an average of 50.20 and took 12 wickets at 26.33.
Stokes was named the player of the match in successive games- first at Lord’s for his all-round show that shouldered them to victory before he picked up 5/72 during the fourth Test at Old Trafford in Manchester. In that fixture, the left-handed batter ended his Test century drought of two years as they piled up 669 runs in the first innings.
