ICC Women's Player of the Month for May 2025 revealed
The dynamic all-rounder finished May with 176 runs with an average of 58.66, striking at 131.34 in three ODIs. She picked six wickets at an economy of 5.00 with career best figures of 5/34 as well. Speaking on receiving her maiden ICC Women's Player of the Month award, Tryon said, 'I probably didn't expect this award, but I see it as a great achievement. I've been trying to find consistency for a while, so I'm happy that it finally came together in Sri Lanka. 'Hopefully, I can build on those performances and help the team through the big year ahead. We've got a World Cup at the end of the year, so I'm hoping to continue being consistent for the team. 'I am really happy at my five-wicket effort and the hat-trick. I was pretty tired most of the time, but I'm happy to have achieved that. You always want to add those milestones to your memories as a cricketer. I'm glad I finally got to tick that off my list. It's still a bit of a blur, to be honest. I think the team carried me throughout that day. I was a little bit sick, so that didn't really help much. 'But everything came together, and I'm just really happy that I could perform and help the team win.'

Bangladesh all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Scotland captain Kathryn Bryce have been named as the ICC Men's and Women's Players of the Month for April 2025. Mehidy becomes only the third player from Bangladesh to win the men's monthly award and the first in over two years. Shakib Al Hasan was the last Bangladesh player to win the award, in March 2023, while Mushfiqur is the other one to have won it. Superb performances with both bat and ball in a two-Test home series against Zimbabwe helped him win the award, his purple patch also helping grab the number two spot among all-rounders in the ICC Men's Test Player Rankings for the first time in his career. The 27-year-old was named Player of the Series after finishing with 15 wickets that comprised three five-wicket hauls and knocking up his second Test century (104) in the second match in Chattogram that Bangladesh won by an innings and 106 runs to draw the series 1-1. Mehidy, who was also named Player of the Match in Chattogram, pipped Zimbabwe player Blessing Muzarabani and New Zealand's Ben Sears to clinch the award. Mehidy Hasan Miraz said: "It's an incredible honor to win the ICC Men's Player of the Month award. The ICC Awards are the ultimate recognition for any cricketer, and to receive this from a global vote means a lot to me. 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." For Bryce, her outstanding run at the Qualifier was not enough for her team to make it to the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025 to be hosted by India, but did get her the Player of the Series award. The 27-year-old amassed 293 runs in five matches at an average of 73.25 which included a match-winning 131 not out against Ireland. She also had scores of 91 against hosts Pakistan and 60 against Thailand. Bryce also grabbed six wickets in the tournament and was a comfortable winner of the award ahead of the West Indies captain Hayley Matthews and Pakistan captain Fatima Sana, who were also shortlisted based on their performances in the Qualifier. Kathryn Bryce said: 'It's a real honour to win this award. Knowing that it's being voted for by the global cricket community makes it that extra bit special; even just to be nominated alongside two players of the stature of Fatima Sana and Hayley Matthews, who both had fantastic tournaments themselves, was amazing. '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. 'Across the board during the entire tournament in Pakistan, the standard of cricket was brilliant, and all the games were really close. It was a wonderful tournament to be a part of and hopefully, we'll have more opportunities to build on the momentum we created there.' Both players were crowned following a vote conducted among global fans registered at and a specialist panel comprising ICC Hall of Famers, former international players, and media representatives.

India's talismanic batter Shubman Gill wins third ICC Men's Player of the Month for batting exploits during February Australia's Alana King spins her way to a maiden ICC Women's Player of the Month award thanks to Ashes heroics More about the ICC Player of the Month awards is available here . The International Cricket Council (ICC) has today revealed the ICC Men's and Women's Players of the Month for February 2025 as Shubman Gill of India and Alana King of Australia. Fresh from India's ICC Men's Champions Trophy triumph, Gill claims the ICC Men's Player of the Month award after a string of superb performances with the bat in his side's ODI series sweep over England and a stellar century in the opening victory over Bangladesh in Dubai. Spin maestro King meanwhile becomes the third successive Australian to be named the ICC Women's Player of the Month after inspiring their win with prolific bowling spells in the standalone Ashes Test match victory over rivals England in Melbourne. Both players were crowned following a vote conducted among global fans registered at and a specialist panel comprising ICC Hall of Famers, former international players, and media representatives. Gill wins his third ICC Men's Player of the Month accolade, overcoming fellow ICC Men's Champions Trophy finalist Glenn Phillips of New Zealand, and Australia's Steve Smith. King wins her first ICC Women's Player of the Month award after seeing off compatriot Annabel Sutherland and Thailand's Thipatcha Putthawong to February's prize. With 406 runs during the calendar month and an average of over 100, Gill returned to the summit of the ICC Men's ODI Batter Rankings thanks to his runscoring feats throughout February. The 25-year-old began the month with three fruitful ODI contests against England, striking 87 and 60 in the two opening ODI matches before a sublime 112 in Ahmedabad sealed a commanding set of performances and the series sweep. With confidence high, his form continued as the ICC Men's Champions Trophy commenced, hitting a crucial and stylish 101 not out against a spirited Bangladesh under the lights in Dubai to chase down 229 for victory and set India on course for silverware. ICC Men's Player of the Month for February, Shubman Gill, said: 'I am elated to win the ICC Men's Player of the Month award for February. Nothing gives me more motivation than performing with the bat and winning matches for my country. 'The lead up to the Champions Trophy 2025 was very crucial and I am glad I was able to make the most out of it. It has been a phenomenal start to the year individually as well as for us as a unit. I am looking forward to an action-packed cricketing year ahead and hope to win many more matches for India.' ICC Women's Player of the Month, King produced a series of destructive bowling displays throughout the Ashes series down under, and concluded with a starring role as the home side won impressively in the standalone Test match in Melbourne. Having won the toss and opting to bowl, King made inroads into the English middle order, denting any opposition momentum with the key scalps of Sciver-Brunt, Dunkley and Wyatt-Hodge as she recorded figures of four for 45. Then , in the second inning, with England chasing a sizeable 270 just to avoid an innings defeat, King yet again took control, removing the dangerous Tammy Beaumont before ripping through the rest of the order to register a career-best Test return of five for 53 and etch her name onto the feted honours board at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. ICC Women's Player of the Month for February, Alana King: 'It's been a big summer for the girls and we're obviously really pleased to have retained the Ashes the way we did. 'I was proud to have played a role in that success and will remember that series, in particular the Test match for a long time. There's no bigger stage than an Ashes Test on the MCG and I'm so grateful to have been a part of it.'
