Mehidy Hasan: ICC Men’s Player of the Month April

Mehidy Hasan is the third Bangladesh cricketer to win the ICC Men’s Player of the Month award, and the first in over two years. Shakib Al Hasan last won it in March 2023, and Mushfiqur Rahim is the other Bangladeshi to have received it.

His incredible performance with both ball and bat in the two test series against Zimbabwe won him this award. It also helped him gain the number two spot among all-rounders in the ICC Men’s Test Player Rankings for the first time in his career.

Mehidy Hasan: “I am truly delighted. This award will be a big source of inspiration for me to keep giving my best and contributing to Bangladesh’s success on the world stage. As cricketers, we dream of making an impact and bringing joy to our fans. Recognition like this from the ICC motivates me to keep pushing harder and performing consistently for my country. I want to thank my teammates, coaches, and the fans — this award belongs to all of them too.”

Kathryn Bryce: ICC Women’s Player of the Month April

In terms of Women’s Player of the Month, Scotland captain Kathryn Bryce was given the award. She beat Fatima Sen of Pakistan and West Indies’ Hayley Matthews to win the award for her impressive performances.

She was exceptional with the bat and ball in the World Cup Qualifiers. She finished the tournament with 293 runs as the leading run-scorer at an average of 73.25 to go with a hundred and two half-centuries. She also picked up six wickets in the tournament.

Bryce: “The World Cup Qualifier was a fantastic competition for our Scotland team. The way that we played our cricket and developed and grew in a format that we’ve not played a huge amount of together was great to see, and it was terrific to have a lot of different players standing up and taking charge of the game at various moments.”
