Ashwin is pictured receiving his award during the lunch interval on day one of Nottinghamshire’s County Championship fixture against Kent.

Carter, meanwhile, has been a key performer in Nottinghamshire’s run to Vitality Blast Finals Day.

The right-armer’s economical bowling has been the main feature of his limited-overs campaign, with his T20 economy rate standing at 6.44 ahead of the Edgbaston showpiece.

The 23-year-old has also taken 11 wickets in the tournament to date, the second-most of any Outlaw.

The duo join Joe Clarke, Samit Patel and Ben Duckett as Player of the Month winners this season.
