During the series, Gill slammed four centuries, including a marvellous 269.
“The double ton in Birmingham is obviously something I will cherish forever and will be one of the highlights of my tour to England,” Gill said.
Following his exceptional performance in England, Gill was named the ICC Player of the Month for July.
"It feels great to be named the ICC Player of the Month for July.”
