Sobhana Mostary has been nominated for the ICC Women’s Player of the Month award for October 2026 following her record-breaking performance against Australia in Brisbane.

BD batter Sobhana,India all-rounder Deepti Sharma and Australia’s Annabel Sutherland are nominees for the monthly honour of the International Cricket Council announced on Thursday.

The talented batter Sobhana Mostary created history during October as she amassed the highest score by a Bangladesh women’s player in ODI cricket when she smashed a brilliant innings of 118 from just 134 deliveries against Australia in Brisbane.

It was an innings of immense quality from Mostary, as she hit 18 boundaries during her knock to help Bangladesh post a competitive total of 220/6 from their 50 overs against the quality Australia lineup.

While it wasn’t enough to get Bangladesh across the line in that match or across the series, Mostary showed her class by scoring a total of 129 runs at an average of 43 during the three-game series to ensure the side left Australian shores with their heads held high.

The experienced India all-rounder Deepti Sharma was in fine form for her country during October as she made strong contributions with both bat and ball across two different formats against Zimbabwe.

The consistent Australia star Annabel Sutherland produced quality performances with both bat and ball across October as she helped herself to plenty of runs and wickets in the ODI series with Bangladesh and T20I series against New Zealand.

It was perhaps in the series opener against Bangladesh in Brisbane that Sutherland produced her best performance of the month as she collected a four-wicket haul with the ball and smashed an unbeaten 25* with the bat to help the Aussies register a comfortable seven-wicket triumph.
