This ashes

Melbourne Cricket Ground: Alana King’s sensational performance during the Women’s Ashes has earned her the ICC Women’s Player of the Month award for February 2025. The Australian leg spinner edged out strong competition from her teammate Annabel Sutherland and Thailand’s Thipatcha Putthawong to claim the prestigious accolade.

Her win extends Australia’s dominance in the award, following triumphs by Sutherland (December 2024) and Beth Mooney (January 2025), making it three consecutive months that an Australian player has secured the honor.

This marks the first time King has received the ICC monthly award, and she was quick to credit her teammates for their collective success.
