The Isle of Man’s Lucy Barnett has been nominated for the International Cricket Council’s Women’s Player of the Month for August.

Barnett finished as the tournament’s leading run-scorer, producing a century and two half-centuries during the squad’s campaign in Romania.

In the opening game against the hosts, Barnett struck an unbeaten 71 as Isle of Man chased down the target in only 13.1 overs.

She managed only four runs against Greece in the second game but bounced back emphatically in the third match against Norway, smashing an unbeaten 123 off just 64 balls to help Isle of Man top their group.

She also contributed with the ball in the games against Greece and Norway, returning figures of 1/8 and 1/11 respectively.

Barnett continued her impressive form in the final against Turkey, top-scoring for Isle of Man with a 59-run knock while also claiming two wickets for 22 runs.

Overall, across four T20Is, Barnett scored 257 runs at a stunning average of 128.50 and a blistering strike rate of 178.47. She also picked up four wickets at an economy rate of 3.80 and an average of 14.25. These performances helped earn her the MVP award for the tournament.

Barnett has been nominated for the Player of the Month accolade alongside Thai duo Suleeporn Laomi and Nannapat Koncharoenkai who both impressed for their nation in the recent Asia Cup.

Laomi claimed six wickets in four T20Is at an economy rate of 5.40 and an average of 13.50, while Koncharoenkai amassed 144 runs at an average of 36.00 and a strike rate of 86.22 in four T20Is.
