"I am grateful in terms of the votes that I have had and it was a month where I saw three really good players surrounded the shortlist and me. I think James Vince is probably my favourite player when it comes to watching cricket, as a fan you'd always like him to win," said Masood.
"I am grateful for the set-up created by Derbyshire and the county cricket set-up that has allowed me to thrive as a player and I have learnt a lot. I have always considered scoring runs to be a by-product," he added.
The southpaw is the leading run-scorer in the County Championship Division Two, with 1074 runs in eight innings at an average of 82.61.
