ICC Player of the Month for May 2023 revealed

ICC Men’s Player of the Month for May 2023

Harry Tector has been selected as the ICC Men’s Player of the Month for May, marking Ireland’s first-ever recipient of the award. He emerged victorious in a tough competition against the renowned Pakistani cricketer Babar Azam and Bangladesh’s promising young batter Najmul Hossain Shanto. On the other hand, the ICC Women’s Player of the Month for May 2023 has been awarded to Thipatcha Putthawong (Thailand), a talented 19-year-old player. She follows in the footsteps of her compatriot Naruemol Chaiwai, who won the award last month.

Both players were selected as the standout performers following a vote conducted among a specialist panel comprising ICC Hall of Famers, former international players, and media representatives, and global cricket fans registered at icc-cricket.com, who had been voting since the nominees were announced last week.
