Harry Brook had strong competition for the award as he was shortlisted along side Babar Azam and Travis Head.

Visiting Pakistan after a gap of 17 years, not only did England return with a thumping 3-0 series win, but Brooks himself put up a dazzling show with the willow as he followed his first century with two more in the next two matches. The youngster’s form in the Pakistan series earned him the accolades as he clinched not only the Player of the Series award, but also the ICC’s player of the month award.
