Pakistan women’s captain Fatima Sana has been named among the ICC Player of the Month nominees for February 2026 following a series of influential all-round displays against South Africa.
Despite Pakistan losing both the ODI and T20I series 2-1, Fatima Sana consistently delivered with bat and ball. Her standout effort came in the opening T20I, where she struck a commanding 90.
She then capped the series with another match-winning contribution in the third T20I, scoring an unbeaten 47 and returning figures of 2 for 12, a performance that earned her the Player of the Match award.

On the men’s side, Pakistan batsman Sahibzada Farhan is also in the running after a historic ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 campaign.
Sahibzada Farhan topped the tournament’s run charts with 383 runs, setting a new record for the most runs in a single edition while scoring at 160.25 and averaging 76.60. He is joined by England’s Will Jacks and USA’s fast bowler Shadley van Schalkwyk.
