Pakistan skipper Babar Azam was on Monday voted as the ICC 'Men's Player of the Month' for March, while Australian opener Rachael Haynes bagged the honour among women.

Amassing 390 runs in the pulsating Test series, his supreme contribution was highlighted by his record-breaking innings of 196 in the second Test, salvaging a draw for his side against the odds on the final day in Karachi.
After England’s latest grim defeat, Joe Root is hanging on to the England Test captaincy by grim death.
Joe Root may be "passionate" about remaining as England's Test captain but should he stay in the post after the West Indies inflicted the latest damaging defeat of his tenure? In January, the 31-year-old star batsman insisted he wanted to begin the process of helping rebuild England's red-ball fortunes by continuing to lead the team in the Caribbean following their humiliating 4-0 Ashes series loss in Australia. But a thumping 10-wicket defeat in the third and final Test against the West Indies in Grenada on Sunday condemned England to a 1-0 series loss after two draws. Root has now overseen just one win in 17 Tests and has failed to lead England to a series victory in his last five attempts. Nevertheless, he insisted Sunday: "I am very passionate about taking this team forward. "I feel like the group are very much behind me. I know this is a results-based business but it does not feel like we are far away from turning results."
Caribbean cricket but does not necessarily mean West Indies have turned the corner long term, former bowling great Curtly Ambrose said on Sunday. Speaking in the wake of West Indies 10-wicket win over England in the deciding Test in Grenada, Ambrose, who took 405 Test wickets at a miserly average of less than 21, was clearly delighted with the result. However, he offered a sobering reality check for anyone thinking the team was on the verge of enjoying the kind of success enjoyed by the world-beating West Indies teams of the 70s, 80s and early 90s.
(Reuters) - A series win over England was a welcome boost to Caribbean cricket but does not necessarily mean West Indies have turned the corner long term, former bowling great Curtly Ambrose said on Sunday.
