Harry Brook, the rising English star, has beaten stiff competition from India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and West Indies spinner Gudakesh Motie to emerge as the winner for the award. Brook took his budding Test career to greater heights in February, scoring two fifties and a hundred.
Ravindra Jadeja is on the shortlist for the first time after inspiring a dominant start to the series for India in their World Test Championship battle against Australia in the Border-Gavaskar series.
Pace duo Jayden Seales and Anderson Phillip miss out on the tour due to injury, while left-handed opener Tagnarine Chanderpaul gets another chance to build on his impressive debut against Australia.
The left-handed batter Shimron Hetmyer is unavailable due to personal reasons; allrounder Keemo Paul is ruled out with an injury and left-arm spinner Gudakesh Motie has failed to recover from the hand injury sustained during the CG United Series against India last month.
