Continues Australian players' monthly award streak

Georgia Voll, who made her international debut in December of last year, beat out stiff competition from her senior compatriot Annabel Sutherland and USA’s promising all-rounder Chetnaa Prasad to clinch her maiden ICC accolade.

"Winning this award is certainly a nice way to cap off what's been an incredible summer for myself and the team. To go to New Zealand and claim that T20 series against the World Champions was the perfect way to end the season. It's been a whirlwind first summer in the Australian side and I'm excited for what next season holds," said Voll in an ICC statement.

Voll’s success means that Australian players have won the monthly award for the fourth month in a row, with Annabel Sutherland bagging it in December 2024, followed by Beth Mooney in January and Alan King in February.

The 21-year-old played a crucial role in Australia's 3-0 whitewash of the White Ferns in March. She finished with 161 runs in the three-match series, second only to her opening partner Beth Mooney, in the run-scoring charts.

Voll smashed her maiden T20I half-century in just 30 balls in the opening match in Auckland as Australia capably chased down 138 for victory. She followed that up with 36 more runs in Mount Maunganui before a Player of the Match-winning performance in Wellington – the opener striking 75 runs in 57 balls to ensure a commanding series sweep over the T20 World Cup champions.

While Voll had a great series, I think Annabel Sutherland was robbed again. Her consistency across formats is unmatched. Still, congrats to the young gun!

That debut season though! From unknown to Player of the Month in 4 months? 🔥 Can't wait to see her in the Ashes later this year.

The Aussie dominance continues! 4 months in a row is insane. Other teams need to step up their game big time.

As a Kiwi fan this hurts, but gotta respect talent when you see it. Voll played out of her skin that series. That 30-ball fifty was brutal to watch live 😅
