Image Source: IANS News New Delhi, March 2 : India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, England captain Joe Root and West Indies batsman Kyle Mayers are in the shortlist for the International Cricket Council's (ICC) player of the month for February. England's Tammy Beaumont and Natalie Sciver and New Zealand's Brooke Halliday are in the list for the women's player of the month. Ashwin, 34, has been in stellar form since India's Test calendar restarted with their tour of Australia. He played a crucial role with both bat and ball as India won the series 2-1, which included them becoming the first team since 1988 to beat Australia in a Test match at the Gabba in Brisbane.
