Bangladesh's Mehidy and Scotland's Bryce named ICC April Players of the Month

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 Bangladeshi player to win the men’s monthly award and the first in over two years. He 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.

"It’s an incredible honor to win the ICC Men’s Player of the Month award. 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, said Mehidy Hasan Miraz."

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 she did get 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.

“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, said Kathryn Bryce."
