Hasan crowned ICC men's Player of the Month
Mehidy Hasan Miraz has beat competition from speedsters Blessing Muzarabani and Ben Sears, to take home the ICC Men's Player of the Month award for April 2025. This is the first-ever Men's Player of the Month award for Mehidy, and the all-rounder becomes just the third Bangladesh player to achieve the accolade after Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib Al Hasan. Miraz was understandably elated after hearing the news. "It's an incredible honour to win the ICC Men's Player of the Month. The ICC Awards are the ultimate recognition for any cricketer, and to receive this from a global vote means a lot to me," the all-rounder stated. "Moments like these remind me of my journey - being named Player of the Tournament in the 2016 ICC Under 19 World Cup was a massive encouragement early in my career, and this award feels just as special. "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." The 27-year-old showed excellent form against the touring Zimbabwe, finishing with 116 runs in two Tests at an average of 38.66 and 15 wickets at an average of 11.86. In the first Test at Sylhet, he was in good touch with the ball and took back-to-back five-wicket hauls. He picked up 5/52 in the first innings and 5/50 in the second innings to keep the hosts in the contest, even though Zimbabwe eventually overcame the onslaught to secure a three-wicket victory. The second Test was one to remember for Miraz as he found his rhythm with both bat and ball. After Zimbabwe had been bowled out for a modest total in the first innings, Miraz scored 104 off 162 balls to anchor the Bangladesh batting effort and help further their advantage. He followed it up with another five-wicket haul in Zimbabwe's second innings and recorded figures of 5/32 as Bangladesh tied the series with a win by an innings and 106 runs in Chattogram.
