England All-Rounder Chris Woakes Bags ICC Men's Player Of The Month Award For July 2023

England all-rounder Chris Woakes capped off a memorable Ashes performance with the ICC Men's Player of the Month award for July 2023. The Player of the Series from the Ashes, Woakes bagged the ICC Men's Player of the Month for July 2023 after conquering stiff competition from compatriot Zak Crawley and Netherlands' star Bas de Leede. “It's very nice to have been voted ICC Men's Player of the Month for July.
